Youth climate activist and @Riseupmovt founder @vanessa_vash points out that global issues like climate change, racial justice and poverty are all interconnected. We must consider the intersections in our work. #SkollWF#MovementBuilding #ClimateAction #PeaceAndJustice
Love this! 👏👏👏 Thank you @SkollFoundation This #SkollWF is so inspiring!
Traditional #Philanthropy has the reputation for being risk-averse in many circles. @BridgespanGroup's @WMLFoster notes that there are some very human reasons why, but the #FutureOfFunding should include a reframing of risk so it favors building more durable institutions #SkollWF

Absolutely! #SkollWF Thank you for convening this amazing & inspiring event, @SkollFoundation
Some of the nations most vulnerable to the effects of climate change have been largely ignored in conversations about solutions. Youth climate activist and @Riseupmovt leader @vanessa_vash is advocating to change that. #SkollWF

When it comes to #Philanthropy and #FutureOfFunding, @coimpactcollab's @rakeshrajani says it goes beyond the amount of money or terms of giving. It takes solidarity with communities around the globe to understand how to get resources to the right place #SkollWF

.@GiveDirectly's Joe Huston shared his belief in flexible, direct cash transfers as a way to alleviate #poverty with #SkollWF. It's not a one -size-fits-all solution, and could create rapid, lasting change for people all around the globe.

In a debate about the efficacy of #ImpactInvesting at #SkollWF, @AmmaLartey of @ImpactInvGh made the argument that while it may not always optimize, it certainly can. Not only that, it has delivered impacts that simply could not have been imagined as recently as 20 years ago.
So inspiring and full of practical approaches to using #TechForGood to solve some of the most pressing issues in the world - including the recent crisis in #Ukraine & the knock on effects of the global #pandemic #COVID19 #SkollWF ... and so much more! Thank you! 😊

Advancing racial equity means building diverse boards and management teams, supporting proximate leaders and being transparent about practices, explains @FordFoundation's @DarrenWalker. #SkollWF

One issue limiting the impact half of #ImpactInvesting, according to @wabt, is that people have greater power, and greater potential for impact, in our roles elsewhere in society. #SkollWF

When it comes to delivering support for #ClimateAction to frontline communities, @CaldwellUSAID has a strong, clear vision for leveraging @USAID's support. #SkollWF

Can #ImpactInvesting optimize for impact? Amrita Bhandari from @acumen made the argument that it can, and does -- we just have to consider and measure success differently, and no one-size-fits-all approach #SkollWF

When considering the limitations of #ImpactInvesting at #SkollWF, @DRKFoundation's @myAzimia pointed out that the financial instruments we use to create impact were simply not designed for that, limiting the effectiveness and scale of impact capital.

So great to hear about the advances in Bitcoin and Crypto - particularly in these times of crises globally. We've been a fan of Crypto for over a decade, and it's wonderful to see it trickling down to really make a difference! 🤘 #SkollWF @MechaiV
