Review and learn from our experience in impact investing to date.Scan the market to understand what SII activities exist related to health, especially eye health. For example, might we be able to leverage existing impact platforms such as GIIN, AVPN or the Global Innovation Fund or would we need to set up our own fund?

Support us to adjust our draft mandate as required, including detail out our financial guardrails e.g. >5% return within 3-5 years, EBIT positive, annual revenue over $05m, etc. to help refine our mandate and ensure it is aligned to our risk appetite and risk tolerances.Planning our next steps.
Support us to draft a forward project plan including, skill, resourcing, timeline, budget and KPIs as well as a governance structure, should FHF choose to pursue our SII mandate going forward in Phase 2.
The updated SII mandate and SII phase 2 plans will be reviewed by the Board to decide if The Foundation should invest in further.
