Philanthropy is evolving beyond the chequebook, and philanthropists now want to be much more connected to the work they fund. They want to invest in innovative solutions with a high impact and are willing to take the risks governments can’t.
Cristina Ljungberg is Co-chair and founding member of Maverick Collective.
She is Co-founder of The Case for Her, a philanthropic investment portfolio addressing the key women’s health issues of menstruation and women’s sexual health & pleasure.
