KNOWLEDGE.

 

Here are some living resources we have found to inform our vision and pathways.

01

Integrated Capital for Social Enterprises
Don Shaffer, Stanford Social Innovation Review

 

"To build a thriving social enterprise sector, we need to rethink the purpose of capital and employ a new strategic funding approach."

Accelerating Impact: Achievements, Challenges and What's Next in Building the Impact Investing Industry
The Rockefeller Foundation

 

'A third-party evaluation of Rockefeller Foundation's Impact Investing initiative, providing one of the most recent and comprehensive scans of the global impact investing industry to date.

The report examines the evolution of the field over the past four years as well as its current status, reflecting that the field has moved decisively from a phase of “uncoordinated innovation” to one of sustained “marketplace-building.” The report concludes by offering recommendations to industry leaders regarding the challenges and opportunities that may lie ahead.'

From Blueprint to Scale: The Case for Philanthropy in Impact Investment
Harvey Koh, Ashish Karamchandani and Robert Katz, Monitor Group

Investing for Social and Environmental Impact
Jessica Freireich and Katherine Fulton, Monitor Group
 

'We will argue here that the precision most needed in the years ahead requires confronting a paradox: impact investing is both one thing, and many things. This moment of transition requires leaders to build the collective will that can only come from seeing the common whole that is emerging from diverse elements in this emerging industry. But at the same time, what is needed to accelerate progress is the ability to separate and make distinctions, so that action is meaningful on the ground.'

A New Foundation For Portfolio Management
Jillian McCoy, RSF Social Finance

 

'This paper challenges current assumptions about risk, growth and utility and proposes new principles to bring portfolio theory into the 21st century. Previous assumptions used to guide investment strategy are no longer appropriate for the environment we live in or for having the social impact sought out. This paper explores integrated risk, selective growth and multidimensional utility functions.
