What it is
An introductory session on innovative finance for the social impact ecosystem, hosted by Impact House and led by Smita Jha. The session challenges the assumption that philanthropy and CSR alone can fund the scale of change India's social and environmental challenges demand, and asks what comes next.
Who it's for
Founders and leaders of social enterprises and non-profits, CSR and philanthropy professionals, impact investors and funders, development-sector practitioners, and anyone working on scaling social impact in India who wants to move past grant-only thinking.
