Outlet: Tipping Point Fund on Impact Investing
The Tipping Point Fund on Impact Investing (“TPF”) today announced a series of grants to support public goods critical to the continued growth and fidelity of the impact investing market.

With funding from the TPF, the ESG Initiative at the Wharton School will lead a convening of business school leaders who seek system-level change by harnessing the power of business research and education to address urgent sustainability challenges. Among other goals, the effort will seek to change current business-school research and pedagogy to embrace a broader understanding of a more sustainable long-term multi-stakeholder capitalism. The convening will seek to develop a working agenda of collaboration among the schools that would engage asset owners, philanthropists and corporate foundations.
