Common Good Marketplace x Medair: Future of humanitarian finance

Medair and the Common Good Marketplace (CGM) are inviting you to a series of small, interactive gatherings in New York (May 5), Atlanta (May 6), and Washington DC (May 7).

At the heart of these conversations is a simple belief: the future of humanitarian work can be more transparent, more collaborative, and more ambitious.

Verified Impact Assets (VIAs) are part of this new vision. They turn real, measurable humanitarian outcomes into something tangible, something you can trust, support, and help scale. It’s about restoring trust through verification, and bringing together private capital and field expertise to deliver impact in a more meaningful way.
