Mouli Cohen & Philanthropy

As with business, it is important to set a goal that you feel is beyond your reach and work to achieve it. It is my philanthropic goal to reduce the incidence of childhood blindness in third world countries, and expand the number and reach of cancer detection and treatment programs for children.

I bring the same focus and determination to this mission that I do to all my projects. Since I started this journey, I have expressed my commitment through grants to national and international organizations.

In the United States, we have become closely involved with Camp Okizu and the Childhood Vision Campaign. These outstanding programs are lead by passionate people who are committed to addressing the critical needs of young children. By inspiring communities, motivating organizations and equipping local leaders with programs and facilities, we will make a difference in the lives of millions of children.

We live in an exciting time of discovery. New treatments and technologies that offer tremendous promise are within our reach. Cell-based therapies will one day restore the promise of hope to children whose lives today are truncated by critical illness.
A responsible approach, balanced with passionate desire to change the world for the better is a worthy endeavor, not only for the wealthy, but for all who take up the challenge of making a difference. Our past support has included pediatric hospitals, clinics, camps and more. We choose these organizations to be recipients of grants because of their dedication and undying commitment to these worthy causes.

Clinton Global Initiative Ushers in Age of Impact Investment

Emerging Countries to Reap Benefits

Last week's Clinton Global Initiative took the city of New York by storm, bringing hundreds of dignitaries, heads of finance, and advisers to Manhattan's Sheraton Hotel in Times Square. Among the many topics discussed and ideas exchanged was the concept of "impact investing".

Impact Investing has its roots in microfinance, where capital is introduced into the world of a single family, village, or business, in order to support the growth of economy from the ground up. The GIIN, or Global Impact Investing Network, was the major headline from the Clinton Global Initiative, introducing a team of about 20 large banks, major philanthropists, and environmental organizations looking to further the central premise of impact investing. In effect, GIIN's main aim is to "create a new asset class-impact investing-yielding a financial return alongside a social or environmental benefit" according to the Economist.

Impact Investing essentially extends the trend of social finance into an area with the potential to reach millions of people in countries all around the globe, creating a drive to speed up growth in emerging countries. There is also a heavy emphasis on sustainability projects, with Al Gore's Generation Investment management company, which seeks to grow capital for investment in green technology.
