Introducing Capital for Good Season Two

Author: Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change February 8, 2022 Duration: 2:22

We find ourselves at a moment of great challenge – and opportunity.  In this season of Capital for Good, we'll explore how the world's health, economic, racial, and climate crises have compelled us to reimagine how leaders across the private, nonprofit, and public sectors champion social and environmental change in ways that truly advance shared prosperity and a sustainable future.

This season, host Georgia Levenson Keohane will speak with a dynamic line-up of leaders, including business executive, political and civil rights advocate, and former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick; MacArthur winner and executive director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, Ai-Jen Poo; Jonathan Soros, investor, civic leader, and co-founder of Athletes Unlimited; Donnel Baird '13, cleantech entrepreneur and BlocPower CEO; sustainable investing and philanthropic leader Valerie Rockefeller; Kathy Wylde, the president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City; and more!


Hosted by the Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change, Capital for Good is a conversation about the practical tools and shifting mindsets needed to finance a better world. This isn't about abstract ideals; it's a grounded look at how capital-from impact investing and philanthropic dollars to corporate and public funds-can be actively directed to solve our most pressing problems. Each episode features candid discussions with leaders who are on the front lines, reimagining the roles of business, nonprofit, and government in an era defined by intersecting crises. You’ll hear how they are building new models that address systemic inequality and the urgent threat of climate change, not as separate issues, but as interconnected challenges requiring innovative financial and managerial strategies. Tune in for a thoughtful, actionable dialogue that moves beyond theory to explore what works, what doesn’t, and how the flow of money can be harnessed for genuine, lasting progress. This podcast digs into the real-world decisions shaping a future where investment and social good are fundamentally aligned.
