Cinven is committed to the highest standards
of corporate citizenship. We undertake social
investment in a series of charitable initiatives
channelled through The Cinven Foundation.
Established in 2007, The Cinven Foundation
provides a way for Cinven to support charitable
causes that are important to staff members.
The contributions of individual Cinven employees
are supported through a matched donation policy.
Each year we make donations to a select
number of charities, mainly supporting educationrelated programmes. During 2013, the charities
which receivied financial support from The Cinven
Foundation were:
49

Springboard for Children
Springboard for Children provides a ‘literacy lifeline’
for children with learning difficulties in inner city
primary schools.

Impetus – the Private Equity Foundation
The Foundation also makes an annual donation to
Impetus - the Private Equity Foundation (ImpetusPEF), of which Cinven is a member. Impetus-PEF
raises significant sums from the private equity
industry and its business partners to support
charities that help young people to succeed.

In February 2014, we hosted a half day careers
workshop with Impetus-PEF and the charity
ThinkForward. ThinkForward is a ground breaking
programme in East London which places
coaches into schools to work with young people
who are at most risk of becoming NEET (Not in
Employment, Education or Training), ensuring that
the transition from school to work is as smooth
as possible.
We also worked with Action for Children
in support of their first ‘CEO Sleep Out’ in
Paternoster Square in March 2014. Cinven
hosted a dinner and breakfast for those
‘sleeping rough’ in support of Action for Children.
