Mossshields’ Philanthropic Finance Strategy Mossshields has long been dedicated to channeling capital into philanthropic initiatives. Through GPFF, the company seeks to employ impact investing to generate economic value while creating positive social change. Key Focus Areas and Expected Outcomes of the First-Round Investment 1.
