Yale Philanthropy Conference 2021:Reimagining Philanthropy

As the nation reels from multiple crises—the pandemic, the economy, and structural racism—the profound disparities in how these crises have affected low-income and communities of color have ignited multiple cries for reform of the philanthropic marketplace. Over 800 funders and donors have signed the Call for Action Pledge endorsing a range of principles that have the potential to transform how philanthropy funds and invests in nonprofits and social enterprises.

For the past year, Andrea Levere has served as an Executive Fellow through the International Center for Finance at Yale SOM to research and propose how to scale the delivery of “enterprise capital” or philanthropic equity to build financial strength and resilience of the social sector while also addressing the need for investment in organizations led by or serving communities of the color, captured in the just-completed Blueprint for Enterprise Capital. This panel will discuss the Blueprint's findings, working to frame out a vision for the future of nonprofit capital markets.
