Global Conference 2019

Achieving Social Impact Through Opportunity Zones (Invite only)

Opportunity Zones are an innovative way to address the lack of access to capital in low-income communities nationally. Philanthropists and the nonprofit sector have been active in underserved markets for years and could be well-positioned to help maximize the positive social impact of this policy initiative. In this discussion, philanthropists, foundations, and other impact investors will explore what tools and approaches could be most effective at steering Opportunity Funds toward a social mission, and how a place-based giving strategy could drive impact in the new Opportunity Zones market.
