What makes big bets effective? Yesterday, our CEO, @CeciliaConrad, alongside Abby Failk (Entrepreneur in Residence, Emerson Collective), Tom Kalil (CIO, Schmidt Futures), & Anushka Ratnayake (CEO & Founder, MyAgro), participated in a conversation about this topic at @gpforg.

[Lever for Change @LeverforChange]

@gpforg The panelists highlighted the ability of an organization to scale or deepen their work, the transformative effect a large gift can have on an organization’s capacity, and the gap in funding from the public and private sectors that these big bets can fill.
