Impact investing tries to do two things: earn a financial return and generate positive social impact. Bridging the divide between philanthropy and the market, impact investing has the potential to bring substantial resources to bear to resolve pressing social problems�and to do so sustainable. Is this "new asset class" more than just a fad? In what ways does it challenge and support current organizational structures, philanthropic habits, and capital allocation?
