The Power of Catalytic Capital: Moving Beyond the 5%

About

Most foundations dedicate just 5% of their resources to grantmaking each year—while the remaining 95% of endowment assets are often invested without regard for mission. What would it look like to align all a foundation’s capital in service of its values? In this conversation, we’ll explore catalytic capital and program-related investments (PRIs) as powerful tools for driving social and environmental change.

Join Stacey Faella, Executive Director of the Woodcock Foundation and Betty Francisco, CEO of the Boston Impact Initiative for a discussion on how foundations can use flexible, impact-first investments to deepen their mission alignment. Together, they’ll share real-world examples drawing from the Boston Impact Initiative’s ecosystem-building approach to community wealth and offer practical insights for program staff and leaders eager to exponentially increase their impact.
