Trading Social Outcomes in an Impact Marketplace

Host Organization: Stanford Social Innovation Review

About

Join Stanford Social Innovation Review  and the Center for Impact Studies, University of Chicago, for this complimentary LIVE session to learn about the latest developments in the fast-moving field of impact markets. The rise of ESG, social finance, and government spending have unleashed trillions of dollars to support solutions to social problems like hunger, homelessness, and climate change, but the way funding is allocated isn’t always equitable or effective.

We’ll hear from leading financial institutions and nonprofits about how a market-based approach can transform lives and philanthropy itself.

In this complimentary SSIR Live! program, participants will: 

  • Learn how social impact registries are making outcomes transparent and comparable, allowing impact marketplaces to match funders to social enterprises based on merit.
  • Discover how the existing funding system is broken, with flows defaulting to well-known brands versus organizations best able to deliver outcomes.
  • Explore a $2 million dollar case study with UBS Optimus Foundation and Democracy Development Center that’s been a game changer for internally displaced Ukrainians.
  • Hear how social outcomes markets are influencing the philosophy of Royal Bank of Canada regarding corporate philanthropy and its social investment portfolio.
