Although impact investing is hot and an increasing ‘must’, it can still be quite a challenge for funds to communicate about ‘impact’ to investors, partners and stakeholders. More specifically, to explain concretely what makes your fund stand out and to profile yourself amongst many other funds.
So how do we put a face (and a heart) to your sustainable investment? By telling the story through a human lens and by conveying the necessity and importance of the impact in daily lives of communities worldwide, we can show there is a higher purpose and bigger value to your investment than just “return on investment”. Our team at Makmende has many years of experience in crafting stories for funds such as SIFEM, PWC, Symbiotics, Triple Jump, H&M Foundation, Netherlands Enterprise Agency, FMO and others. During this storytelling workshop we offer an insightful and interactive session on 1. How you can position yourself better? (as you are not the only impact investor out there) and 2. How can you up your game with storytelling? What makes a story powerful? And how can you find ‘authentic stories’ that make complex issues heartfelt?. We will have a look at impact investment related cases (produced in collaboration with impact fund Regmifa and SIFEM) to illustrate these takeaways.
