Purpose and Desired Outcome
We hope to call attention to the need for effective, affordable, and accessible solutions for G2P and spotlight promising opportunities for social investors, nonprofits, and companies in this space. We would measure success by outreach and engagement, including G2B and B2B partnerships, following the event for BII, Aspen, Mocafi, Leapfund, and any of its partners. As we will also issue a call to action to sign on to advocacy efforts being led by the Aspen Institute for a National Financial Inclusion Commission, we will also measure our success by new signees to the letter.
