In an October 8, 2015 story about Change Capital Fund,
City Limits wrote: “The fund could reflect an evolution in thinking about poverty and philanthropy aimed at reducing it. Ten years ago, private funders emphasized innovation in funding anti-poverty efforts, leading to plenty of new ideas but few initiatives that could demonstrate enough impact to warrant scaling-up. The Change Capital Fund embodies a different approach: funding unglamorous but useful programs, supporting the institutional infrastructure of organizations that have existed for decades.”
