“Knowledge – if it does not determine action – is dead to us.” (Plotinus, ~204 – 270 AD) Delighted to contribute to the “#Philanthropies as #Innovators in #Finance” at #BuildingBridges23, organized by Catalytic Finance Foundation & a big #thankyou to fellow speakers Adama MARIKO & Maya Ziswiler, our dynamic moderator Barbara Buchner & the super active audience for a fast-paced #fishbowl session. The insights? Many in 60 mins. Here 7 observations to inform our #practice once back at our desks after the #conference. 1. From a technical perspective, #blendedfinance is coming of age. A wide range of #financial #instruments has been piloted. Organizations everywhere are assessing how they can help them to crowd in more #capital. 2. Philanthropic capital is valuable & can be complementary to #private & #public sector funding. But the universe of charitable foundations is far from monolithic. 3. The proudest contributions include building #infrastructure. Had The Rockefeller Foundation not convened the meetings in #Bellagio, #Italy in 2007 & 2008, #impactinvesting would have taken longer to take off. Industry-structuring organizations such as The Global Impact Investing Network (#GIIN) would not exist in the current shape. 4. Foundations can contribute to #innovativefinance by (a) #funding projects, (b) investing impact allocations of their #endowment, the 95-98% of the funds invested at any point in time, & (c) as #intermediaries, leveraging their subject matter insights, #networks & in some cases, specialized #expertise, as the Catalytic Finance Foundation. 5. For folks wishing to engage to jointly #innovate in finance, the foundation space is often opaque. #Searchcost is high. Similarly, for foundations the specifics of the many #developmentbanks & their mandates are not straightforward to understand. Networks such as Finance In Common – the #global network of Public Development Banks (#PDBs), seeking to align financial flows on the #2030Agenda & #ParisAgreementforClimateChange – can be powerful entry points. 6. Understanding the different roles in the #ecosystem & where each actor has #comparativeadvantage is necessary to #grow the capital pie together; #capacitybuilding on all fronts is key to achieve this, as e.g. via the Driving Innovative Finance for Impact (#DIFI) course at IMD. 7. Finally, solving #how-to questions is what drives #results. The fishbowl format – according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary either “a bowl for the keeping of live fish” or “a place or condition that affords no privacy” once again proved a great way to dynamize our interaction. People into keeping fish know that a #freshwater #aquarium is easier to set up. Yet, to unlock the full #potential of blended finance in solving our #challenges, we need to build on today's more sophisticated "#seawater aquarium" kind of thinking. #impinv #innofin #philanthropy #catalyticfinance https://lnkd.in/em8xW4pX
