TBN Asia Conference
Is collaboration the key to a sustainable future? Perhaps a better question is: Can a sustainable future be paved by only one entity? To recreate our future, and to keep improving it for future generations, we need to work together. The synergy forged from these interactions brings about an innovation that rises above the boundaries of ourselves, and culminates in greater impact. People frequently talk about moving the needle, let’s elevate it! At TBN, we bring together founders and funders for a meeting of the minds. What makes TBN special, is our two unique pillars of interfaith collaboration and transformational leadership. Come join us at our conference in Bali from 7-9 September for a meaningful engagement. Alone we are smart, and together, we are brilliant. And who doesn’t want to be brilliant?CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Keynote
While there will always be pockets of society that will need traditional philanthropy, there is a lot of room for philanthropy to evolve and innovate. Venture philanthropy takes the best practices from venture capital and applies it to philanthropy. Unlike traditional philanthropy, venture philanthropy generally focuses on building capital, scale and measurable results. These contribute to the sustainability of a grant and/or investment. It encourages givers to be more engaged, and recipients to be more efficient. Ultimately, it is about improving the ways in which we give to achieve better outcomes for society.

Plenary 7: Catalytic Capital Continuum - The Future for Social Enterprises
Synopsis:
Traditionally, social enterprises have relied on market rate investments or pure philanthropic grants for their funding. With the development of innovative financial models like blended finance and risk adjusted market rate return impact investing, rich opportunities are generated for social enterprises to tap into the huge potential of private markets for capital. These opportunities can be catalytic for the social enterprise, and enable them to scale. Social enterprises are entrepreneurial organizations that blend social benefits and financial returns. So the capital that they rely on should also sit on a continuum that ranges from philanthropy to market-return impact investing. This is the emerging capital market for social enterprises, and the future. Takeaways:
