The proposed project is to invite a cognoscente to
conduct a public symposium and closed workshops to share the experiences of
Social Investment and Assessment of Social Impact with the Japanese audience in
order to encourage Japan to promote venture philanthropy by private equity,
venture capitals, and grant-making foundations. It is aimed to: 1) promote
understandings about the social investment among donors, grant makers,
inventors and entrepreneurs, 2) understand capacity building offering financial
and technical support, and 3) introduce the practical methodology to measure
social return.
