This report presents the activities, outputs and outcomes of a joint initiative between Coralus and Criterion Institute, two organizations that are innovating finance for social good. The initiative broughttogether 45 contributors from Coralus and 15 experts from Criterion to explore how to design and implement financial models that support women and non-binary entrepreneurs in diverse and inclusive ways.
Criterion Institute and the Equality Fund explored these ideas in a recent webinar featuring Yifat Susskind, Executive Director of Madre, Joy Anderson, Co-founder of Criterion Institute, and Kat Im-Jenkins, Managing Director of the Equality Fund.
Our work depends on an ever-expanding community of team members, advisors, donors, and other partners who help us achieve our mission.
