From an approach perspective, capital is essential (and Sitawi helps access it), but it is not everything. Social and environmental impact leaders must know how to obtain it, manage it, and invest it in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of their initiatives.
From Sitawi's internal point of view, there is more complementarity between types of organizations that have greater adherence to a certain area than an expectation of an organization moving between areas.
