What to Expect:

We are in an era where impact investing is becoming the newest trend in philanthropy and change-making. There is also a sharpened narrative around empowering those closest to challenges with the resources necessary to lead change efforts in addressing said challenges. How do we ensure that the current trend and narrative do not fall short in actually bridging the gap between the financial resources and the need for investments at the local level? This session will focus on best practice models and the challenges of making social innovation accessible through innovative funding practices.

Target Audience:

Founders, innovators, and entrepreneurs
