Social impact bonds could fund public programs

Social impact bonds could prevent taxpayers from paying money into programs that are not successful. Nonprofit groups, foundations, and private sector could fund initiatives and be reimbursed by the government later only if the program achieves agreed-upon benchmarks. If not, taxpayers could owe nothing.
