Strategic Philanthropy: From Catalytic Capital to Sustainable Impact
As public funding retreats, philanthropy faces a defining moment. The discussion examines how catalytic capital can be better deployed to move beyond good intentions, aligned with evidence, incentives and mission to drive scalable, equitable, and lasting impact.
From designing scaling models, de-risking innovation, to generating proof points to drive impact at scale, can philanthropic capital shift the landscape to accelerate systemic change?
Our panel of committed funders will tackle how to fix the “plumbing” to unlock catalytic capital and allow for it to work efficiently, while preserving philanthropy’s unique role where (private) markets cannot, and should not, lead.
Panelists:
Peter Bryant, Oceans Program Director at Builders Vision
Dr. Paula Murphy Ives, Managing Director, Social Capital and Impact, Enterprise Strategic Client Group, Royal Bank of Canada
Lexi Bowes-Lyon, Partner and Head of Impact at CYNREN
