Human resources business partner volunteer for CrowdDoing.world's systemic change fund.

What is CrowdDoing.world's systemic change fund?
CrowdDoing.world's systemic change fund addresses this challenge.

How can everyone be able to economically afford to work on what they love?

How can sweat equity diversification of investment allow more people to afford to work on what they love?

If social enterprises and impact funds could collaborate to reduce the friction in capital access, this could help them access more of the right expertise as they need it. This approach can allow a diverse set of sweat-equity- staff to participate in early-stage social enterprises. This kind of flexibility can be made possible if a fraction of sweat-equity-staff remuneration could be secured in a portfolio of social enterprises, rather than only one.c
The Systemic Change Fund connects the impact community of experts, CrowdDoing volunteers, and institutions able to provide a range of in-kind services and goods-to be able to undertake collaborative capacity-building in support of social enterprises and social innovation.

More people could eventually be able to economically afford to work on what they love, if sweat equity staff could achieve economic diversification comparable to impact investors. Social enterprises are already places for inspiration, but they rarely have the capital to pay for help; their equity is a large, undiversified risk for the sweat equity investor. The Systemic Change Fund offers integral capital financing for every stage of development, for social enterprises that have truly transformational impact potential. Genesis partners with a capacity-building group of allies, to support different kinds of social innovation and social enterprise goals, through revenue-share-grounded-based in-kind lines of credit to participating social enterprises. The social enterprises with equity lines of credit for in-kind resources, can draw these down as easily as cloud services can be requested in the form of storage or computing power.

Forest Fire Risk Prevention Derivatives in Northern California
Bobby Fishkin, lead author

In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""

CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Financial Analyst Volunteer, Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing
A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions.The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk. Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial.
