Avivar Capital (Avivar) is a U.S.-based SEC registered investment advisor focused exclusively on assisting institutional, public and private clients in the design, development and execution of impact investing strategies, portfolios and funds. Clients range from small to the nation's largest independent and community foundations, banks, institutional investors and families. Strategies range from place-based or thematic impact investing goals to values alignment for traditional portfolios targeting market-rate expected returns. Strategies typically seek to increase equitable access to opportunity across thriving and sustainable urban, rural and tribal communities.
CapShift’s mission is to help financial and philanthropic institutions, along with their clients, mobilize capital for social and environmental change. To advance this mission, we partner with leading donor advised funds, national foundations, and private foundations to help them identify, access, and evaluate impact investments. Key funding and support from the Fink Family Foundation, Heron Foundation, and Omidyar Network helps us ensure that our activities align with our mission.
The Impact Evaluation Lab brings clarity and accountability to impact investors, aligning impact investment strategies with traditional capital-markets expectations so the impact sector can scale with integrity and become a trusted part of mainstream finance.
Through our flagship tools, the Impact Authenticity Score and the Impact Navigator, the Impact Evaluation Lab provides assessments of mission alignment, impact execution and financial performance to identify funds which deliver on their impact commitments. Developed in partnership with leading impact organizations, fund managers and asset owners, the IEL tools provide practical, actionable insight and analyses for fund managers and asset owners, empowering confident allocation decisions in the impact investing sector.
Our mission is to provide the tools and develop the trust that is required by all asset owners and investors to enable impact investing to fulfill its potential as part of the core architecture of global financial markets.
