How can philanthropy stimulate lending to marginalized communities and create catalytic impact? This interactive session will explore why blended finance models are critical to meeting the needs of financially underserved populations and how a range of philanthropic tools, including traditional grants, recoverable grants, and program related investment, can be used to facilitate critical capital. Together participants will unpack current constraints to financing and discuss how to navigate risk, structure loans, and measure impact using venture and catalytic philanthropy. Participants will explore and develop actionable ideas and strategies to stimulate lending to marginalized communities.
