An evening for leaders in the impact sector

The impact sector does incredible work, often under financial pressure, short funding cycles, and increasing demand. But what if the money already sitting within the sector could work harder, more sustainably, and in a way that aligns with purpose?

Join us for an evening conversation introducing Keryn Martin and the Kaitiaki Foundation, a new initiative powered by Velocity Financial and designed to bridge the gap between the financial services sector and the impact sector, and to make professional investment management more accessible to charities, trusts, schools, and community organisations.

Guest speaker: Steven Moe

We’re delighted to be joined by Steven Moe, founder of Seeds, and a lawyer, author and podcaster working at the intersection of purpose, capital, and impact. Steven works closely with start‑ups, investors, charities, and purpose‑driven organisations, and brings a thoughtful, practical lens to how impact organisations can navigate money, governance, and growth.

  • How professional investment management can support long‑term stability and impact, not just short‑term survival
