An extension of the “Introduction to Local Impact Investing” session, this workshop will help foundations and corporations understand the broad set of tools they can use to deploy impact capital, including PRIs/MRIs, loan guarantees, direct lending, integrated capital (loans and grants), and loan loss reserves. Learn how philanthropic investors are using these tools to address critical community issues and to identify specific gaps (e.g., needed infrastructure, cross-sector leadership, flexible investment capital, and effective policy).
Skills-Based Volunteering (SBV) aligns a professional’s skills and talents to the social challenge they are best positioned to address. Also known as pro bono, SBV enables companies and foundations to support nonprofits where they need it most: the critical, yet often underfunded core mission functions of strategy, model development, technology, marketing, HR, and more. SBV is also a valuable tool for social impact organizations to establish and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with corporate partners.
Aligning your corporate strategy with your philanthropic investments and partnerships can add credibility to your brand, board, and employee engagement messaging. This alignment will also positively impact cultural and mission related goals.
