We need to build back better, and community capital is one of the key paths to drive the change we seek. This past month, Cutting Edge teamed up with SVX US to cohost a two-part webinar series exploring live case studies of place-based funds and nonprofit organizations across North America. During the webinars, attendees heard from speakers representing U.S. and Canadian companies VERGE Capital, TechSoup, New Way Homes, PVGrows, Community Vision, and Upper Canada Social Impact Fund.
