Save the date for a compelling new conference that brings promising strategies from the global stage about how we can create and finance effective change organizations. "Delivering social change at scale will require more capital than philanthropy and public resources can provide." - Rockefeller Foundation
"It is plausible that in the next five to 10 years investing for impact could grow to represent about 1 percent of estimated professionally managed global assets in 2008. That would create a market of approximately $500 billion. This is a market that size would create an important supplement to philanthropy, nearly doubling the amount given away in the United States alone today." - Investing for Social and Environmental Impact by the Monitor Institute
ReVisioning Value 2010: A Conference at the Intersection of Purpose and Profit will bring together leaders from the varied fields of impact investing and social innovation to share how new models for both are increasing the flow of capital to the creation of a more just and sustainable world. The one-day conference is followed by a day of hands-on workshops and strategic action roundtables designed to help participants apply the ideas offered at the conference to their own organizations and to create actionable tools and strategies for the future.
