Financing the changes we need
Financing the Changes We Need
Financing systems change and transformation is both critically important and notoriously difficult. It requires, and is producing, significant innovation by funders/financiers, implementers and others. Leading examples of financing systemic transformation are being identified for their promotion and further support. The Call for their identification is being undertaken by FEST, a global community of innovators and thought leaders that is advancing the field of financing systemic transformation (FST). FEST was initiated by Catalyst2030 social entrepreneurs around the world. Initiatives may be nominated or self-nominate by completing a form by Nov. 15 that should take no more than one hour to complete. Initiatives may be located anywhere in the world.
Part of the goal of this Call is to identify new and emerging examples of financing systems change that involve an “ecosystem” approach, so all submissions will be greatly valued. This is part of a field-building strategy to raise investment in such initiatives.
