Join Us for the 2025 Mission Investing Institute
Mission Investors Exchange (MIE) is pleased to announce the 2025 Mission Investing Institute. As MIE’s signature introductory learning program, our Institute is designed to help philanthropy professionals get started in impact investing or advance their practice.
The Institute will take place from May 5-7 at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs in Atlanta. It will also include an introductory session taking place virtually on April 29 and an optional visit to a successful impact investment site in Atlanta on May 5. Institute sessions will provide philanthropy professionals with best practices to develop the strategy and capacity for an effective mission-aligned investing program. Participants should expect an action-oriented, interactive learning environment, with space to workshop organizational solutions, apply learnings, and network with fellow philanthropy and finance practitioners.

Join MIE for a special program where experts will share insights on how changes in the White House and Congress could affect mission-aligned investing. This Virtual Learning Opportunity (VLO) will explore potential shifts in the field, key trends to watch, and steps philanthropy can take in the interim. The program will focus on policies and trends that could influence impact investing, with an emphasis on how foundations and philanthropic asset owners can continue deploying capital to deepen their impact.
MIE is excited to announce our 2026 National Conference. This signature event in the world of impact investing will be set against the backdrop of the U.S. South in the City of Atlanta from April 27-29, 2026. We sincerely hope that you will join us for the marquee event of our calendar year. More details and registration coming in 2025!

Solutions for the Affordable Housing Crisis
In the first session of MIE's Affordable Housing Month, we hosted "How Impact Investing Can Help Solve the Affordable Housing Crisis." Attendees gained insights into the root causes of housing insecurity and the impact of systemic housing inequities on BIPOC communities. The session emphasized the importance of shifting decision-making power toward individuals with lived experience as a critical step to building stronger, more resilient communities. The second event in this series, "MIE’s Deep Dive on Deals: Due Diligence and Lessons Learned at the Intersection of Affordable Housing and Commercial Development," featured The Barra Foundation’s catalytic investment in the Kensington Corridor Trust’s community-driven development model. Resources from both sessions are now available in our library, with recordings coming soon.
