Why Work With Us
Complex global issues cannot be solved by government and philanthropy alone—private investment is also needed to bridge funding gaps and spur innovation. But aligning public, private, and philanthropic models in a way that generates both returns and social impact can be difficult. That’s where the Milken Institute Financial Innovations Lab® (FIL) comes in. We help close the funding gaps by clearing the way for private capital to invest in solutions that solve social, economic, and environmental challenges.
