Marshall Institute
The Marshall Institute works to improve the impact and effectiveness of private action for public benefit through research, teaching and catalysing action.
We do this by bringing together theory and practice in a virtuous circle that connects our community of academics, researchers, students, alumni, social entrepreneurs (including founders in our 100x Impact portfolio), philanthropists and policy makers.
