Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Investment By Charities considers charity trustees' powers to make social investments and their duties when doing so, and examines whether anything can be done by way of law reform to make those powers and duties clearer. Charities have traditionally both spent their funds in support of their charitable objectives, and invested so as to generate further funds for future initiatives. A charity making a social investment combines these objectives in one transaction, seeking to achieve both its charitable purposes and a financial benefit. Social investments include: individual investments, such as simple loans and share purchases; collective social investment where multiple investors pool their funds to achieve certain social outcomes; and social impact bonds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the resources of both governments and traditional philanthropy barely growing or in decline, yet the problems of poverty, ill-health and environmental degradation ballooning daily, it is increasingly clear that new models for financing and promoting social and environmental objectives have become urgently needed. Fortunately, however, a significant revolution appears to be underway in the way in which social and environmental purposes are being financed. The heart of this revolution is a massive explosion in the instruments and institutions being deployed to mobilize private resources in support of social and environmental objectives. Where earlier such support was limited to charitable gifts, now a bewildering array of new instruments and institutions has surfaced-loans, loan guarantees, private equity, barter arrangements, social stock exchanges, bonds, secondary markets, investment funds, and many more-all of them designed to leverage not just the tens of billions of dollars of philanthropic grants but the hundreds of billions, indeed trillions, of dollars of private investment capital. While the changes under way are inspiring and by no means trivial, however, they remain largely uncharted in any systematic fashion. This monograph, and of the companion volume for which it also serves as the introductory chapter, is designed to overcome this problem, to provide the first comprehensible and accessible roadmap to the full range of important new developments taking place on the frontiers of philanthropy and social investment. In the process, it seeks to broaden awareness of these developments, increase their credence and traction, and make it possible to maximize the benefits they can generate while acknowledging the limitations and challenges they also face.
