What is hard for for-profits is even harder for nonprofits because they are solving for problems that the market will not solve

from Power Station · host Anne Pasmanick

Let's be real: If you work for a nonprofit with a social change mission you are probably not averse to taking on challenges. Whether a nonprofit's charge is tackling hunger, homelessness, or access to healthcare you must be prepared to help people in crisis, provide resources, build community power and advocate for policy solutions. The truth is that nonprofits exist to take on deep-rooted problems that the private market will not solve. But where corporations are capitalized at levels needed to build a robust infrastructure and attract expertise, philanthropic support for nonprofit grantees is not commensurate with their capacities or the urgency of their mission. This tired and harmful paradigm is being brilliantly disrupted by Andrea Levere, a legend in the field of asset building and now, the founder and CEO of Capitalize Good. In this episode of Power Station Andrea shares her experience with making wealth inequality a national talking point and breaks down her blueprint for Enterprise Capital, a new model for investing impactfully in the nonprofit sector. Andrea reports on what happens when the model is put into action. This is true change making, a breakthrough, in action.
