Congressional Staff Briefing: “Social Impact Bonds: A Moneyball Approach to Federal Investment”
Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) are some of the most promising examples of what works. The SIB funding model – a partnership between government, nonprofits, the private sector and investors – is gaining momentum at the local, state and federal levels, and thanks to new legislation introduced by U.S. Representatives Todd Young (R-IN) and John Delaney (D-MD), we may see even more progress behind this exciting idea. Read more about social impact bonds in action and attend this upcoming staff briefing to learn more from some real-world practitioners on SIBs:
