Audrey Vaughn, Monitor Deloitte
Creating sustainable social change requires organizations to move beyond traditional, inflexible funding sources and structures. From social impact bonds, prize challenges, to competitive grants, innovations in funding models provide leaders options to customize how they invest in programs to improve outcomes. But how do you choose the right model? This interactive workshop, leaning on insights from several recent case studies, will provide you with a diagnostic to analyze each funding model, as well as an opportunity to design and iterate on an innovative model of your choice.
