Overview

CSP is an organization that works to unlock the full potential of private wealth by equipping wealth holders and practitioners with evidence-based insights, transformative training, and collaborative networks. Since its inception, the organization has trained over 700 wealth holders and estimates that $32 billion of assets have been moved to impact as a result of its programs.

Mission and focus areas

CSP tackles obstacles such as knowledge gaps, limited capabilities, and lack of support networks that constrain wealth holders’ impact. The organization focuses on three interconnected elements known as the “CSP Flywheel”: research to maximize investor impact, science-informed training to move capital toward action, and strategic engagement to connect a global community of wealth holders, researchers, and entrepreneurs.

Structure and governance

It operates through in-house applied and academic research teams and collaborates with mission-aligned researchers and top universities.

Programs and offerings

CSP offers highly intentional training programs tailored to the specific needs of wealth holders, including “Impact Investing for the Next Generation,” “Investing for Systems Change,” and “How Leading Family Offices Grow Future-Fit with Impact.” These programs are run at institutions such as the University of Zurich, University of St. Gallen, MIT Sloan, and Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society. The organization also produces applied research, such as the “Investor’s Guide to Impact Wealth Management” and “Investor’s Guide to Goals-based Investing and Philanthropy.”
