Beyond measuring the impact of philanthropic funding with Cressida Pollock
Show Notes

Can we reimagine philanthropy as if it takes on transformational climate challenges in a more systemic grant process?

In the fifth episode of the Futuring Podcast, Ivana Gazibara, Director of the Futures Centre, talks to Cressida Pollock, the Co-Director of Quadrature Climate Foundation, former Chief Executive of English National Opera and founding member of  Somerset Capital Management. 

Tune in to hear Cressida's fresh perspective on restructuring traditional philanthropic practices for more holistic investments, how climate change is informing this transformation, why tracking positive impacts will lead to more sincere transition pathways and how going beyond the old nonprofit archetype leads to sustained relationships with grantees, in turn, creating deeper impact.
