SUMMARY:Exploring Social Finance Models for the Settlement Sector
DESCRIPTION:Purpose Capital presents Exploring Social Finance Models for the Settlement Sector. \nSocial finance is attracting increasing attention across Canada\, and there is potential for its use in the settlement sector.

The webinar will introduce participants to research currently underway on how social finance could be used to assist Canadian newcomers and service provider organizations. The presentation will feature prominent social finance models already being used\, and those with strong potential to address challenges in the settlement sector. \nPresentation topics include: \n\nA review of potential benefits and implications of a social finance approach\nAn overview of social finance models that are relevant to the sector\nExamples of the opportunities and challenges when these models are applied in practice\nAn interactive question and answer session\n\nWebinar participants will have the opportunity to sign-up to receive updates and referrals to additional resources for exploring the potential benefits of social finance for their own purposes. \nWho should participate? \nThe presentation is relevant to service provider organizations\, settlement networks and a wide range of partners working in both social finance and settlement sector areas. \nWebinar Details & Registration:\nWhen: Thursday\, April 7\, 2016\nTime: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm (PDT) / 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm (EDT)\nLocation: Online\nCost: Free \nTo register\, click here.
