"Denver Mayor Hancock and Governor Hickenlooper are committed to recognizing innovative solutions to the delivery of public services and funding programs that are proven to work. To that end, the Denver Office of Strategic Partnerships and Governor's Office of Policy and Research are currently evaluating the feasibility of Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) in Denver and Colorado.
SIBs seek to harness the ingenuity of the public, private, and philanthropic sectors in order to (1) give service providers the upfront capital they need to be innovative, (2) produce independent evaluations that fully examine a program's effectiveness, and (3) directly connect proven programs with the government's ability and commitment to bring programs to scale.
The Denver Office of Strategic Partnerships, the Governor's Office of Policy and Research, and the Colorado Nonprofit Association invite you to an informal discussion about the concept of SIBs. We ask for your ideas and suggestions on the possible application of SIBs in Denver and Colorado.
Please join us for this important event Monday, August 12th from 10:00-11:30am, 789 Sherman St. Reservations are requested." [Source: Colorado Nonprofit Association]
