Description
Building on a landmark SOCAP 2023 conversation about launching child-lens investing, this panel in 2026 will showcase the child-centered investment solutions that have since come to market. It will explore how intentionally investing for children is sparking new innovation in investment strategy design, outcomes-based financing structures, lean data approaches, and the integration of NGO programming. Speakers will unpack real transactions and partnerships that are re-wiring how capital flows to child well-being, going beyond pilots to scalable, investable models. The session will focus on the progress that has been made in turning the recently launched child-lens investing concept into current day solutions.
