Hot off the presses! "The Pacific Northwest Capital Scan is our understanding of the capital flows – and gaps – within the regional economy. The Capital Scan tracks current capital flows by various investors and agencies into community-oriented investments (local crowd-funding and accelerators, regional private equity and venture capital, and so on). The University of Oregon researchers aggregated all available data and summarized it in one report to help us better understand who is providing capital, where it’s going, and perhaps most importantly, where it’s not."

Thanks to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for raising the question on how to get creative in scaling impact through capital. In partnership with Adler Colvin, Clark Nuber, and others Canopy created a deep dive into the structure we launched with as our contribution to this conversation. With a compelling forward by Philanthropy Northwest's CEO Jeff Clarke, here's the paper itself.

Thrilled to announce the 4th fund selected for our Canopy CAPITAL research and training program: Elevate Capital.

"As Canopy’s President Craig Muska points out, 'their intentional focus on diversity differentiates Elevate from other managers in the investment industry—a sector that systemically lacks support for leadership among minorities and women. The issue of inclusion is a priority for Canopy’s founding members.'”
