In this report intended for financial institutions, investors, philanthropists, governments, and social entrepreneurs, the Canadian Task Force on Social Finance outlines seven actions that Canada needs to undertake, in parallel, to mobilize new sources of capital, create an enabling tax and regulator environment, and build a pipeline of investment-ready social enterprises.
The recommendations from the task force include annual reporting on mission-related investing from Canada's public and private foundations, the establishment of a Canada Impact Investment Fund, responsible investment reporting mandates for public pension funds, and tax incentives for impact investors.
