Social finance, therefore, is more than just the flow of money into social or environmental projects. It is conceived as an ethos about the way money is used…social finance can be seen as the discourse around such flows that is developing in concrete terms in the new institutions of supply, intermediation, and demand. This is a discourse in flux with competing perspectives driving the debate Nicholls with Pharoah (2008) 22 SKOLL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Social Investment Options • Not-for-profit/charity that generates exclusively social value • Non-market rate • Social enterprise that is profit-making but also has a clear social/environmental purpose • Sub-market/market rate • Commercial opportunities in deprived areas • Market rate • ‘Social firms’ that employ disenfranchised members of the community • Sub-market/market rate 23 SKOLL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Spectrum of Financial Return 24 SKOLL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Spectrum Of Social Finance Financial Instrument 25 Purpose of Finance Type of Finance Example Private Grant Fulfilling Mission Capacity Building (Venture) Philanthropy PRI MRI Impetus Trust FB Heron Foundation Calvert Foundation Government Grant Regeneration Market Development Community Development Loans Unclaimed Assets Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) Social Investment Back Government Contracts Outsourcing Welfare Services Contractual Exchange Greenwich Leisure Ealing Community Transport Debt Economic and Social Development Micro-Finance Grameen Bank CitiBank Quasi-Equity Growth Capital Share of Ownership Bridges Community Ventures Catalyst Sub-Market Equity Growth Capital Restricted ‘Ethical’ Shares Cafedirect Ethical Property Company Market Equity Growth Capital Standard Shares London Bridge Capital Compartamos Bank Joint Equity Start-up/ Growth Capital Co-operative Ownership (IPS) Mondragon BayWind SKOLL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Demandside • Charities • 168,000 • Total income of £40bn • Social enterprises • 55,000 • Total income of £27bn • Community Interest Companies (CICs) • 2,000 since 2005 • No information on income • Co-ops 26 SKOLL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Charity Finance 27 SKOLL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Supplyside Risk level Minimal 28 Low Medium High Provider Banks (Triodos) CDFIs Charity Bank Local Investment Funds Bridges C.V.
