Pathways to Impact: New Approaches for Funders

Description:

Pathways from education to employment remain rooted in the past, and it is clear that merely improving the outputs of our existing system is not good enough. Today, a new breed of social impact organizations is emerging, using a wider range of approaches to drive outcomes. This session will explore the new approaches of mission-oriented funders, which often deploy risk-tolerant, sector-agnostic capital, and incorporate vertical and/or horizontal integration to catalyze change across systems.
