De-Risking for Impact: How Guarantees Unlock Capital for Social Good
Guarantees are a powerful, yet underutilized, tool in the philanthropic investing toolkit. By taking on risk others won’t, guarantees can unlock private capital, de-risk bold ideas, and help mission-aligned projects attract more investors to scale.
