🌟 We’re thrilled to share the newly released ‘State of Outcomes-Based Finance (OBF) in Canada’ report by the Raven Indigenous Outcomes Funds and the Sorenson Impact Institute. It is a must-read for anyone interested in supporting innovative outcomes-based financing models.

Raven collaborates with Indigenous communities to develop interventions that deliver impactful outcomes while incorporating traditional Indigenous practices and knowledge.

We can all play a role, and the report outlines clear recommendations for how community, legislative and sector-wide support can work to strengthen OBF in Canada.

Learn about how OBF is already achieving inspiring success in yesterday’s Globe and Mail article: https://lnkd.in/djmR3V6T
