Inside Story with IM: Ford Foundation’s History of Using Tools of Capitalism for Social Good will explore the Ford Foundation’s role in impact investing since the 1960s. The session will shed light on the foundation’s efforts and lessons learned over time, as we take a look at the history of using the tools of capitalism for social good and Ford’s current commitment to sustaining mission-related investing.
This event is the first of a new learning series hosted by Information Management called Inside Story with IM, in which we share stories that have been formative in the Ford Foundation’s history and, more broadly, in the public discourse of philanthropy. Join us as we retrace Ford’s past to help you reimagine the future.
This event will be hybrid. Light breakfast and refreshments will be served for those joining in person. Please RSVP to ensure an accurate headcount.
