This event is a must-attend for anyone who believes in the positive impact of investing in education. It will showcase how philanthropic giving and social investment can support educational projects and programs. Investing in education is a powerful way to make a difference, but traditional approaches often fall short. That's why philanthropy and impact investing in education are so crucial. They offer a sustainable approach to delivering both social and financial returns while increasing efficiencies and accountability. It also reduces the burden on governments, freeing up resources for other critical needs. Additionally, this approach expands the accessible capital pool by drawing in traditional investors who are looking for ways to make a difference. The event will also provide invaluable insights into what donors should look for before funding an educational initiative.

This event has been developed in collaboration with First Star. By attending, you will have the chance to hear the stories of their alumni who will share how the program helped them personally and contributed to their development.

We will also explore the importance of collaboration between philanthropic organizations, businesses, and universities in unlocking more funding for the sector. By working together, we can create a more equitable and just society where every individual has access to quality education and equal opportunities to succeed. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of this constructive change. Join us at the event and together, let's create a brighter future for the next generation through impactful education investing!
