Social Finance
As we prepare for our Fall Institute 2012 which will explore models of social finance, we have put together this portal of resources relating to the concept and practice of social finance in Canada and in other countries. We intend to add resources as we find them, and welcome comments and suggestions of relevant resources. Our intention in selecting and assembling these links is to provide an overview of the topic rather than a comprehensive listing.
