Liquidnet, the sponsor of the Tactical Philanthropy Track at last year’s Social Capital Markets conference and producer of these highly regarded slides about Giving Markets, is hosting a competition for business school students to figure out ways to transform traditional donors into social investors. They now have seven finalists selected by a great group of judges including Ken Berger of Charity Navigator, Bob Ottenhoff of Guidestar and other sector leaders.
