Impact Investing 101

What is impact investing? And how do investors move from ideas to making their first impact investments? 
 
Impact investing is a strategy that involves investing in companies, organizations, or funds with the intention of generating a financial return while also creating a positive social or environmental impact. Impact investors actively seek to align their beliefs and values with investments across asset classes and in areas such as education, healthcare, clean energy, affordable housing, and sustainable agriculture. Foundations have a proud legacy and unqiue leadership position in the field.
