Foundations for Social Impact Bonds
New research explores the role of foundations in the development of the new SIB market.
Why have some foundations chosen to get involved with the new and untested social impact bond (SIB) market? Why are others skeptical? What challenges do philanthropic organizations face in engaging with this sector, and what is their vision of the way forward?
These are the questions that we at Social Finance set out to explore when we began the research that culminated in our recent white paper, “Foundations for Social Impact Bonds: How and Why Philanthropy Is Catalyzing the Development of a New Market.”
