5 November 2017 Oxord Social Finance Prorgamme took off at Said Business School with support from the Foundation.

This is a newly developed intensive course for NGO leaders which gathered together executives from more than 40 countries. Among them there are five Russians who received fellowships from the Foundation to attend the course.

They were selected on the basis of their potential, achievements, and commitment to working towards addressing social challenges.

The participants will create a social finance strategy and plan of action to scale the impact of their organizations.

This is a unique opportunity to build work with Oxford faculty, industry pioneers and experienced peers from across the globe and discover social finance tools, including endowments, mission related investments and new approaches to philanthropy.
