Advancing Atlanta's Impact Investing Ecosystem

The Local Host Committee and their organizations are working together and with dozens of other investors, nonprofits, social enterprises, and advisors to build Atlanta's impact investing ecosystem. Their investments and other forms of financial and non-monetary resources are dedicated to addressing poverty and income inequality in Atlanta from all angles, by providing access to economic opportunities, nurturing leadership, supporting quality, equitable education, and much more. Through this work, they and others are supporting the development of new funds, cross sector collaborations, and organizations committed to ensuring Atlanta’s growth leads to prosperity for all.
