S7E18 - How to Actively Invest Philanthropy and Save the (Water) World?

with 🎙️ Sean Davis, founder and managing director of Merton Capital Partners, adjunct professor at the Palm Beach Atlantic University, and Author of "Solving the Giving Pledge Bottleneck." 

💧 Merton Capital Partners develops innovative investment strategies to unlock philanthropy's potential by incentivizing corporations to generate large-scale good in their core businesses.

What we covered:

💰 What philanthropic Capital Investment actually is, and what it can do to solve water challenges 

💸 How, as surprising as it is, giving philanthropic money away isn’t that straightforward in the absence of suited dealmakers 

3️⃣ How philanthropists can build a third path beyond traditional market money and grant funds 

🎛️ How the right approach is to blend sources to aim for the maximal impact 

⌛ How it may take time for that new approach to get widely adopted, and how it is comparable with the 80’s Investment Funds status quo 

🏠 Affordable Housing, Broken Water Utilities, Inadequate Wastewater Treatment, 21 million people betrayed by their tap, Increasing Awareness… and much more!
