Abstract

Despite the wide range of impact investment intermediaries that are available and the advantages they can offer, many funders remain unaware of this growing trend to deliver both social impact and financial returns. This study from 2007 provides an overview of these current trends and a listing of available intermediaries and explores key considerations and opportunities for funders.
