Summary

CSIIN is a peer network for corporate philanthropy, CSR, sustainability and impact economy practitioners who want to explore social impact investment.

Aims and activities

Aims and questions

Aims and activities

With demand for grants continuing to grow, there is increasing interest in how corporates can use alternative models to provide sustainable, affordable finance for charities and social enterprises, along with associated grants and pro bono support.

CSIIN provides a space for corporates to learn from peers, share experiences and explore what social impact investing could look like in practice. The Network is free to attend and provides briefings, peer learning and opportunities for deeper workstream collaboration.

Content is suitable for corporates beginning their social impact investment journey, and those with existing programmes.

How to get involved

All Network activities are free to attend, and open to individuals working at corporates with an interest in learning more about social impact investing and sharing with peers.
