Catalytic Capital Intermediation: Connecting Mission-Driven Capital to Systemic Change
Catalytic Capital Intermediation: Connecting Mission-Driven Capital to Systemic Change
Monday November 10, 2025 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST
Location
VirtualCatalytic capital intermediation leverages philanthropic and program-related investment (PRI) dollars to unlock larger flows of private capital into mission-driven companies. By deploying charitable and concessionary resources in for-profit contexts, intermediaries can bridge gaps in the capital stack, de-risk innovative models, and enable scalable solutions that might otherwise be overlooked by traditional investors.
Who uses this? This approach is particularly compelling for private and corporate foundations, family offices, DAFs, and impact funds that want to maximize their leverage.
