"Once you've been helped, you help someone else"

Impact Philanthropy has for many years been the engine for social entrepreneurs, but can often result in limited one way transactions. We Share Forward Foundation are transforming the practice with an innovative model that reuses and recycles catalytic capital to support more and more early stage social entrepreneurs.

By in effect turning Social Entrepreneurs into philanthropic investors, the impact of the original capital is aggregated and scaled with multiple positive ripple effects.

Eleni brings a unique and lucid perspective to the complexities of the philanthropic impact capital marketplace, while also covering the evolution of Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) best practice, the merits of blended finance and why we need catalytic capital to create a thriving pipeline for investors to scale solutions further along the investment chain.
