SXSW 2020
Driving Big Bets in Education
Description:
How can we unlock the flow of philanthropic funds to education programs that work? While 80% of big bet donors ($10M+) Bridgespan surveyed aspire to affect social change, only 20% of philanthropic dollars go to social change organizations—one reason is that funders believe organizations aren’t ready to deploy big bets effectively. Join Bridgespan and the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust (EFCT) as they discuss how City Year went from an early short term grant from EFCT to becoming “big bettable.”
