The True Cost of Funding Social Impact with Dr Nadait Gebremedhen

What if the real impact of funding isn’t just in what it supports, but in the cost of how it’s deployed? Dr Nadait Gebremedhan rejoins the show to share the thinking behind Toll the Funder Footprint Initiative, a movement examining whether funding processes create a net positive or negative impact on society. Rather than focusing only on outcomes, this approach looks at the footprint of capital itself, from the conditions it imposes to the hidden costs placed on the very organisations it aims to support. In this conversation, we explore how funding structures can unintentionally limit impact, the often-overlooked burden on social ventures, and how funders can better align their capital to truly enable change.For more content, do visit:Dr Nadait’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadaitgebremedhenHagush: https://www.hagush.orgToll: https://fundingfootprint.org/Funding Footprint Calculator: https://catalystnow.net/funding-footprint-calculatorCatalyst Now: https://catalystnow.netAstroX: https://www.angkasawan.org.myEmail Dr Faiz: [email protected] Faiz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gofaiz  Creating positive change, one episode at a time.This show is sponsored by Faiz Space. https://faizspace.org
