More than 800 investors, entrepreneurs, financiers, foundation executives, donors, and nonprofit officials have gathered here for Social Capital Markets 2009, a meeting that conference organizers describe as being “at the intersection of money and meaning.”
Discussions will focus on the range of ways that investment, enterprise, and business-minded approaches to giving are being married with a desire to do social good in areas such as health care, education, and the environment.
Scheduled speakers include Sonal Shah, director of the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation; Shari Berenbach, chief executive of Calvert Foundation; and Dave Chen, founder of Equilibrium Capital Group, a firm that invests in companies that focus on environmentally friendly building, resource management, and the food-supply chain.
We will post updates here throughout the conference.
