ABOUT ANDREA LEVERE

I am the founder and CEO of Capitalize Good, a Social Enterprise Fellow at the Yale School of Management, visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and an Aspen Institute Ascend Fellow Alumni. With a career spanning over three decades in economic development finance, asset-building and financial inclusion, I\'ve dedicated my professional life to addressing wealth inequality and creating pathways to economic opportunity. Capitalize Good is a social enterprise working to disrupt philanthropy by expanding access to “Enterprise Capital” – unrestricted, multi-year funding that strengthens nonprofits’ balance sheets. Through direct work with funders and nonprofits, advocacy, and thought leadership, our goal is to ensure every nonprofit has the capitalization necessary to tackle the root causes of the problems they seek to solve and design a path to financial sustainability. I currently serve as board chair for two community development financial institutions – ROC USA and Rochdale Capital – and as vice chair of Scale Link. I previously was a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors’ Community Advisory Council, serving as both vice chair and chair during my three-year term. With volatility saturating the nonprofit sector today, Enterprise Capital can help nonprofits build resiliency, maintain essential services in the face of funding disruptions, and advance their social impact.
