Betting on Higher Social Returns—Pioneer Donors Show the Way

Nicole Etchart and Loïc Comolli

Chapter 7 in Social Enterprise in Emerging Market Countries, 2013, pp 133-159 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As interest in market-based solutions to problems of poverty and inequality grows, philanthropists question what role they will play in engaging these solutions. Monitor Group’s research publication, “From Blueprint to Scale” concludes, “Impact capital alone will not unlock the potential of impact investing for the global poor. Because of the extreme challenges facing those who are pioneering new models for inclusive business, truly realizing the impact in impact investing will require more, not less, philanthropy, and will need that philanthropic support to be delivered in new ways.”1
