Lever for Change has mobilised over $1 billion in philanthropic capital by matching donors to issues in open-call challenges. Dr. Cecilia Conrad, CEO of Lever for Change, joins Ben for a conversation on how this model works, what voices it amplifies and how more impact people can get involved. A trained economist with 31 years in academia, Cecilia jumped into the world of philanthropy with a splash, eventually leading the MacArthur Fellows program and 100&Change, the latter of which laid the foundation for Lever for Change. 

Impact Week attendees can join Cecilia at the opening plenary on 29 November – see the agenda
