Description
Making impact-first investments requires careful consideration of the potential risks and rewards in the context of your specific philanthropic goals – including the risk of leaving impact on the table with a traditional “grow-and-grant” approach. Featuring small-group demos of the Impact-First Investing Tool, a new interactive platform developed by the Rustandy Center at Chicago Booth and the Social Finance Institute, this session will offer practical, expert-facilitated guidance on using the IFI Tool to better understand the relationship between impact and returns over time, including which considerations are more likely to shape that relationship and why.
