The Hungary Impact Group was established in January 2014 with 30-35 members who aim to bring together key stakeholders from across the NGO sector, public sector, private sector and academia to support the development of the impact agenda in Hungary. The group is led by Gabor Levai from Civil Support Nonprofit Ltd, a SIAA organisational member.

Events

The first Hungary Impact Group event took place on 13th June 2013 and invited a small group of Hungarian and international experts from diverse sectors to discuss social impact analysis, financing based on demonstrating impact, and on a more general financing for social innovation.
