The Council on Foundations is excited to partner with Village Capital, an organization that supports entrepreneurs seeking a positive benefit to society, on "Education Impact Day", a day-long series of events in Washington, DC on April 1.
Impact investing is a rapidly growing approach that supports businesses seeking a positive benefit to society, in addition to financial returns. Village Capital, a pioneer in impact investing, has recruited 11 early-stage enterprises improving educational outcomes for under-served students to Washington, DC for a day-long session.
Whether you are interested in learning more about impact investing, or whether you want to learn more about innovative approaches to better educational outcomes, we'd like to invite you to attend one of these sessions:

You'll sit on the "board" of a company and help them decide a strategic issue.
