Episode notes
SSE Uses Donation-Style ZCZPs Not Tradable Shares
- The Social Stock Exchange (SSE) issues ZCZPs that act like donations rather than tradable securities.
- ZCZPs sit in your DEMAT, offer no returns or principal, but allow Section 80G tax deductions and mandated impact reporting for transparency.
Prefer SSE When You Need Verifiable Impact
- If you want verifiable social impact, use SSE listings because they require public impact reports and spending disclosure.
- This transparency helps donors judge whether their money reached the intended programs rather than relying on opaque donations.
Transparency And Reach Are The SSE's Main Benefits
- Listing on the SSE forces organizations to publish impact reports and disclose donors, amounts and spending.
- This public reporting helps donors verify outcomes and gives organizations broader visibility to large philanthropies and companies.
