SOCAP26 is designed to catalyze action. With support from members of the global impact community, we are curating conversations that surface practical solutions, foster collaboration, and help accelerate the flow of capital where it is needed most. 

This year’s Content Curation Councils, made up of 18 distinguished leaders from across sectors and backgrounds, will collaborate with our team to review and refine the SOCAP Open session proposals. Their support helps ensure the SOCAP Open sessions selected for the SOCAP26 agenda reflect quality, relevance, diversity, and practical value.

Speaking of the annual SOCAP Open process: This year, we received hundreds of session proposals from leaders who are ready to share tools, frameworks, and lessons the community can apply immediately. (👏) Voting is a key part of this process, so be sure to vote in SOCAP Open by April 26 for the community-submitted sessions you believe are most critical to advancing the field of impact!

Expanding Nature-Based Solutions With Innovative Financial Models

Featuring Janis Dubno (Sorenson Impact Institute), Zach Knight (Blue Forest), Catherine Burns (NatureVest, The Nature Conservancy), and Dan Winterson (Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation).

Nature-based solutions are widely recognized as essential to addressing climate and biodiversity challenges. Yet despite their potential, they remain significantly underfunded. This episode of the Money + Meaning podcast, recorded live at SOCAP25, explores how new financial approaches are beginning to shift that dynamic. By linking financial returns to measurable results, these structures offer a way to translate long-term environmental value into something investable today. TUNE IN.
