This document outlines the concept of social finance and the potential for a national collaboration in Canada called CAUSEWAY. Social finance aims to generate both financial returns and social/environmental benefits. It exists on a continuum between traditional investments and grants. CAUSEWAY would work to develop new financial pathways in Canada for investing in public benefit through activities like convening stakeholders, supporting product and policy development, and building knowledge in the field.
