INVESTING FOR IMPACT: Mobilizing Private Capital for Public Good

Join Capacity Waterloo Region and Social Venture Partners for Investing for Impact, a conversation with Tim Jackson and Bill Young about where social finance needs to head in Canada in order to grow a social economy that bridges profit and social good. Tim and Bill are members of the Canadian Task Force on Social Finance, a group that has set out to play a catalytic role in accelerating and raising awareness of social finance in Canada.

Last fall, the task force released its report, Mobilizing Private Capital for Public Good, which delivered seven key actions Canada needs to undertake to ignite the development of an investment marketplace dedicated to addressing our country’s social and environmental challenges. The recommendations aim to benefit non-profits and for-profits that achieve their primary social or environmental mission using business methods.

Investing for Impact is presented by Capacity Waterloo Region and Social Venture Partners Waterloo Region.
