Our social impact is largely a result of our engagement with the Edinburgh student body and wider community. Firstly, our 8-week Analyst Training Programme is our most direct means of delivering a positive impact within the university. Since our inception, Prosper has trained over 200 students from the University of Edinburgh, ranging from first-years to Master’s students, studying a wide range of degrees.
When marketing Prosper, we reach out to all corners of the University, in order to attract a diverse range of students. By doing so, we have made finance more accessible and understandable to people who may have been sceptical or intimated to learn more about it.
This Year’s Change: Social Impact Grants
As Prosper is reaching the end ot our first 5-year investment horizon, this year will be the first time we give out Social Impact Grants. Funded by the returns on our investments, these grants will be a way to directly impact the local community. We are currently working hard to ensure that these grants are delivered as effectively as possible.
Events
