G&G has launched Circle Compadres, a venture philanthropy initiative designed and run by the family’s next generation.
Circle Compadres gives the family’s rising generation direct ownership over new giving and impact-investment decisions, rather than a consultative role in decisions made elsewhere. Members source, vet and back causes and early-stage impact ventures themselves, applying the same negative-screening principles and Social Alpha discipline used across the wider family office, but with full latitude to back the ideas that matter most to them.
The initiative sits within G&G Charitable Trust and is a direct extension of a practice that has long been part of family life: bringing the next generation into rooms where real decisions are made, rather than introducing them to a finished strategy after the fact.
“Legacy is not etched in stone. It is woven into the lives of others.”
From a family legacy panel, World Family Office Forum Europe, MontreuxCircle Compadres is now reviewing its first cohort of causes and ventures, with initial commitments expected later this year.
