IMPACT INVESTING FOR PHILANTHROPISTS
Grantmakers, donors, philanthropists and corporate social investors in South Africa are ready to enter the field of impact investing. Impact investing not only provide an opportunity for the social sector to have access to new capital, but also to leverage, scale and build on existing impact strategies and investments. Similarly, it provides a link between existing funding initiatives and an opportunity to scale the work already underway with social enterprises across industry sectors such as agriculture, education and health. Truly an existing time for the sector.
