Expansion Finance For Social Impact
Thursday, March 26, 2009
Session Description
Philanthropy has too often remained trapped in the ‘small is beautiful’ world of social innovation – while for-profit investors have striven to avoid any taint of compromising returns for social impact. A growing set of trailblazers is mobilising significant pools of capital to deploy for social impact. In the process they are reinventing the way that philanthropic and for-profit capital is used for social and environmental benefit.
