03/12: Acumen Fund Founder and “TIME” Responsibility Pioneer Jacqueline Novogratz Appears on CNN, PBS

Philanthropic visionary Jacqueline Novogratz is embarking on a major media tour this month, appearing on some of the biggest platforms in the world, touting the work of her humanitarian organization, the Acumen Fund.

Addressing global poverty by using entrepreneurial approaches, Novogratz’s Acumen Fund uses a market-oriented method of charitable giving, and shows that small amounts of capital yield big results.

One of Foreign Policy’s “Top 100 Global Thinkers” and a regular speaker at the esteemed TED Conference, Jacqueline Novogratz has made a true impact on philanthropy as we know it. Her book, The Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap Between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World, has brought her message of social investment to a broad audience, and has inspired many to rethink the meaning of poverty.

Catch Jacqueline Novogratz on the following programs:

• On Sunday, March 14th at 10:45 AM EST, Novogratz will speak at the Daily Beast Women in the World Conference. The Daily Beast, one of the web’s most-read blogs, has called her one of the “25 Smartest People of the Decade.” She will be interviewed by CNN’s Campbell Brown in a must-see live stream format.
• At 3:00 PM EST on Thursday, March 18th, Novogratz will sit with CNN’s chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour, on her self-titled show. The episode will focus on Acumen Fund’s work in Pakistan, and showcase a different side of the country not typically reflected in the media.
• Finally, the week of March 22nd (official date coming soon), PBS’ NewsHour travels to Kenya with Novogratz, for a firsthand look at Acumen’s impact in Nairobi.
