Impact investing is a powerful way for faith institutions to align their values and commitments with their investing practices to create a more just and sustainable world. Impact investing is practiced by many different faiths and traditions, all sharing a common purpose to create opportunity for communities and to protect the planet. Faith investors were among the first impact investors and many continue to be at the vanguard.

Answering the call to be part of the solution to our most urgent local and global challenges has never been more important. While many faith institutions understand the “why” of impact investing, some may be less clear on the “how”—where to identify opportunities, how to speak to a finance committee or financial advisor, and more.

In collaboration with a growing community of faith partners, we’re here to help faith institutions and their financial professionals understand impact investing, wherever they may be on their journeys.
