SPPA PhD student Douglas Pawson has been awarded the first Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship in Impact Investing & Policy Innovation by the Impact Investing Policy Collaborative (IIPC). Doug’s fellowship will be hosted at 3ci and, working also with the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing, will examine the potential of equity-tax credits in Canada.
The IIPC award was designed to support fellows conducting research with a high probability of contributing new knowledge to the field of impact investing policy, and requires active sharing of information through the IIPC web portal through the publication of at least three blog posts or articles related to their work. Fellows were selected based on a demonstrated interest and willingness to contribute to advancing impact investing markets, and holding a minimum BA, BS or equivalent.
