At Future of Good, social finance and impact investing are an important part of our social impact journalism. Over the last four years of Future of Good’s coverage, we have featured stories of and insights from people and projects whose bold ambitions and brave journeys are shaping a more purpose-oriented finance, investing and funding ecosystem, and inspiring novel finance tools that accelerate more sustainable and inclusive communities for all. As examples, we covered the launches of Equality Fund, Desjardins Community Recovery Fund, TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good and Emergency Community Support Fund; in addition to our regular social finance coverage, we published special reports on the development of Canada’s Social Finance Fund and on the future of social purpose real estate; we chronicled the 10-year history of Canada’s Social Finance Forum; throughout the pandemic and during federal budgets, we kept policymakers informed of views from social finance leaders, and; we profiled groundbreaking initiatives such as: The Right Relations Collaborative, National Social Value Fund, Raven Indigenous Capital, Impact United, and Catalyst: Community Finance Initiative.

This journalism fellowship will allow Future of Good to bring dedicated news, insights and analysis to this important topic – especially at a time when the Government of Canada has launched the Social Finance Fund and Canadians are wondering about the potential opportunity for social finance to solve complex problems. This journalism fellowship focuses on solutions journalism which is a key aspect of the editorial strategy at Future of Good.
