xchangexchange seeks thought partners
Lucy Bernholz, blogger extraordinaire on all aspects of “giving”, “capital markets”, and the blending of these worlds, has joined our team to consider the issues we’re posing in this dialogue of xchangexchange.
Lucy has recently posted about xchangexchange in her own blog and encourages others to join in the conversation. She writes:
“So, if we’re really asking questions about the role of philanthropic funds within a social capital stream, we had best at least start with a sense of what dollars go where, what dollars come from where, and how we value, access, count, and use these dollars. In other words, we’re back to my previous question about what mix of revenue (philanthropic, social investment, commercial investment, fair trade, social venture funds, etc) is actually funding public goods/services.
This is, I believe, still the key question, and one which is being taken up by some very thoughtful folks running the xchangexchange - which has the intellectual horsepower to become a hub of thinking about the changing capital markets. I’m going to move my conversation, questions, and the insights I received about the value of various elements of the blended value map over to the xchangexchange conversation - join me over there.”
We cannot do this alone: please join us on the exploration conversation!
