LEO 500: The Future of Everything
The future is not just something we await; it's something we create. Do Good's blog, "The Beehive," is abuzz with the latest news about an extraordinary gathering of minds at LEO 500: The Future of Everything. This event, hosted at the spectacular Skyline Event Center of The Leonardo, promises an evening of insightful discussions, networking, and exploration of groundbreaking ideas. We're particularly excited for our very own Michael Parker to share his vision on 'The Future of Social Impact'.
A Stellar Lineup of Thought Leaders
LEO 500 brings together a diverse array of experts, each delving into crucial topics shaping our tomorrow. From 'The Future of Democracy' with Ben McAdams to Dr. Charles Swenson's 'The Future of Space Exploration', the event covers a broad spectrum of subjects. Michael Parker, representing Do Good, joins this esteemed group to discuss 'The Future of Social Impact', a topic close to our hearts and mission.
Michael has played a crucial role in tackling homelessness and housing instability, leveraging strategic partnerships and resources to effect change. His leadership has been vital in raising $15 million towards a $30 million fund aimed at high-impact solutions for homelessness.
Similarly, through Do Good, he channels his expertise and creativity into assisting clients [such as the Leonardo] in achieving substantial outcomes, employing innovative problem-solving, community navigation and strategic planning.
Michael is known for his innovative thinking and fresh ideas, constantly seeking new ways to address community needs. Most recently, he has been part of a unique set of projects aimed at social impact in housing.
Specifically, the Utah Housing Preservation Fund (UHPF) which has one of the most innovative capital stacks, return structures, and impact delivery in America. He was also instrumental in the development of affordable student housing at Ivory University House that through innovative financing, supports education through scholarships and funding over 100 years.
