The Colours Of Money: Social Financiers Collaborating For Impact
Friday, April 16, 2010
Session Description
Investors are looking beyond the single bottom line, but still seek commercial returns on their investment. Philanthropists want to maximise impact with constrained resources. Governments recognise the limitations of development programmes to solve the world’s most pressing problems. This session explores ways that investment, philanthropic and government resources are working together to create positive impact in innovative ways – through investment approaches that combine different ’colours of money,’ working to help innovations escape the world of the small but beautiful.
