Description
Impact investing has tremendous potential to address America’s wealth gap by scaling ownership models that build community resilience and create pathways to economic mobility. This session explores how impact capital can support the growth of different ownership models as a strategy for building wealth. Attendees gain an understanding of how ownership whether through homeownership, business ownership or other ownership strategies, drives long-term economic mobility and wealth generation for individuals and families; builds shared prosperity; and strengthens local economies.
