In addition, this article examines the various actors in the field, the measurement metrics utilized, and presents a model of the interactions within the Impact Investing ecosystem. The emphasis is on three questions: What is the current state of funding for social impact and, in particular, Impact Investing? How is impact identified and measured? What intermediaries and other actors are at play in this field?
