Social Stock Exchange (SSE) initiative was launched in 2019. It was designed to foster inclusivity and adaptability within capital markets. India launched its Social Stock Exchange, the fourth functioning exchange in the world.

The Social Stock Exchange challenges the issue of inconsistent funding and transparency, by connecting non-profits with socially conscious investors through various financial instruments.

This toolkit aims to equip non-profits with the essential knowledge and resources to navigate the SSE framework through a step-by-step approach. Using Unnati Foundation‘s SSE journey as an example, this resource is divided into 4 phases from registration to successful listing. Each phase aids in understanding compliance requirements, forging partnerships, and embracing best practices.

Non-profits can explore the toolkit and some of the best practices from Unnati Foundation’s journey, as a starting point for future entries and instilling preparedness towards the efficient use of the SSE.
