How to use money more effectively? That is the perennial question of every funder and resource provider. As social and environmental needs get increasingly more complex, the solutions used to address them correspondingly needs to increase in sophistication. Traditionally, most funders tend to use only one or two methods, and so may miss out on other financial models/tools that might be more appropriate, possibly more innovative, and could make their money go further.
This session will explore the various funding models along the continuum of capital that addresses various needs and risk levels. How can we be more creative and innovative in finding the right blend of funding tool to meet our various objectives? What are the additional opportunities that we can tap into?
The session will also discuss the other players in the ecosystem and how their roles can help funders in the whole process. Therefore, public-private collaborations play important roles, and how can funders build capacities in their current models to include these other players?
We will study a couple of case studies in the session.
Come join us to advance your journey to better deploy capital and address your pet causes more effectively!
