Innovating Finance: The Future of Community Bonds with CSI (Summer of Good)

Welcome back to the Summer of Good series! In this episode we welcome Tonya Surman (CEO) and Kyle Shantz (Managing Director) from the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) to discuss the transformative power of community bonds. Tonya and Kyle share the story of how CSI’s beginnings as the first co-working space in Canada expanded to reinventing the social innovation space, successfully buying their buildings through community bonds. They highlight how the community bond model has evolved and expanded to help nonprofits and social enterprises access much-needed capital - and what needs to still be done. You can learn more about the Centre of Social Innovation at: https://socialinnovation.orgLearn how to invest in their 6% bond here, before it is too late: https://socialinnovation.org/news/2025/05/15/the-2025-csi-community-bond-is-here/Join Tim's classroom: https://giclassroom.com Find out how Tim can help you align your investments with your values: https://www.goodinvesting.com/ Work with Genus on your sustainable investments: https://genuscap.com/goodinvesting Don't forget to: 🔔 Subscribe for more sustainable investing insights! 👍 Rate & Share with future Good Investors!Support the show
