Innovate. Leverage. Grow. | |
Greetings!
The Social Impact Exchange's Conference on Scaling created a platform for highly acclaimed, research-backed educational, social and economic development programs to present strategies for expanding their reach. Presenters included such organizations as YouthBuild, Ways to Work, and Uncommon Schools. As part of the event, nearly 200 business plans were submitted by nonprofit organizations for review by philanthropic and investment professionals.
Both convenings emphasized the need to draw on the full range of financial instruments, from grants and PRIs to market rate investments, in order to create substantial change.
Sincerely,
Peter Berliner
