The next wave of impact capital: Reimagining the role of philanthropy and impact investment

Impact capital”, or finance intentionally directed toward positive societal outcomes, is at an inflection point. Global and US domestic funding cuts are shrinking the pool, and no single source can fill the gap. The answer isn’t just more dollars – it’s also higher-leverage ones.

The interest is there: private wealth holders are seeking investment opportunities and foundations are getting more intentionally catalytic, but the plumbing between intention and deployment is still broken. In this session, we’ll share what we learned from surveying foundations, family offices, wealth managers, and advisors about where the money is, where it’s stuck, and what’s working. Then we’ll work together on what we can do today to get more capital flowing.
