Impact investing and spiritual belief: breaking the cycle of persistent poverty
Every great religious and spiritual tradition is built upon the belief that success and personal accomplishment are sought not for personal enrichment or power, but rather for a greater good. We believe you can extend this tradition to create new economic models of prosperity by leveraging both human and financial capital. This panel will discuss how the intersection of impact investing and spiritual belief can create enterprises that help break the cycle of persistent poverty.
