Nesta to develop social finance market
The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (Nesta) is looking to develop a social finance market, it has been revealed.
A part of its Challenge social innovation programme, Nesta is set to develop ways of engaging with small investors, following general concerns that they have been overlooked in the past.
In addition, the institution is to analyse methods in which sustainable equity funds can attract new investment opportunities, ThirdSector.co.uk reports.
The initiative will also look ways in which risk capital can be brought to the social finance market.
Such news may be of interest to those working within the third sector.
Following such financial assistance, it may be possible that those operating in the third sector may be able to maintain sustainable efficiencies with greater effectiveness.
In related news, Phil Hope, minister for the third sector, revealed earlier this week a scheme designed to help investors put a financial value on the social and environmental benefits of the donations they make.
The initiative has been designed to help business measure social return on investment with greater effectiveness.
More about sustainable efficiencies.
