Growth Capital for Nonprofits (Part 1)

The Center for Nonprofit Strategy and Management of the School of Public Affairs presents the seminar "Growth Capital for Nonprofits."

A panel of executives discusses a variety of questions and issues on the topic: how can social entrepreneurs take a great idea and "go to scale"?; what is "patient capital" and how can it be obtained?; and how can I tell if my organization is ready? Panelists discuss this market from their experiences building it, and how successful campaigns were created and implemented. Panelists include Gerald Chertavian, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Year Up, Inc.; George Overholser, Founder and Managing Director, NFF Capital Partners; and Charles Harris, Co-Founder and Executive Partner, SeaChange Capital Partners.

James A. Krauskopf, Director of the Center for Nonprofit Strategy and Management, makes the opening remarks.

Michael Feller, Professor at School of Public Affiars, Baruch College, moderates the event.

The event takes place on April 3, 2008, at the Baruch College Vertical Campus, Room 14-220.
