As part of Philanthropy Network's Mission-Aligned Investing Cohort, philanthropic leaders are learning together how to align their assets with their mission and invest in the community using a racial equity lens.
With many of our endowment holdings in companies that need upgrading or overhauls, we can use our shareholder power to push for changes that also help to fulfill our missions AND leave the world a better place.
Join other investment professionals, endowment/foundation leaders, and impact investors gathering to discuss the use of blended finance and how it can be used to move dollars from the balance sheets of endowments/foundations to affordable housing projects and Black, Brown, and women-owned businesses.
Hear from The Racial Equity Asset Lab (The REAL) to learn about models for engagement and the types of external consultants available in the ecosystem for advancing mission-alignment, integrating impact investing, and incorporating racial equity in endowment practices.
The joint Small Funders Community of Practice and Mission Aligned Funders Working Group session will offer an introduction to Mission Aligned Investing (MAI) and a discussion about the unique opportunities and challenges of MAI for small funders.
