PRGs—backed by donor-advised funds (DAFs) and family foundations—help absorb early-stage risk, unlock scalable investment, and drive job creation. With real-world success stories of nearly 50,000 jobs created, this session will highlight how PRGs can bridge the financing gap for small and growing businesses, and unlock #jobs for all.
