Community Foundations Topical Call: Impact Investing: What Community Foundations Need to Know

How can community foundations use impact investing strategies to amplify their mission and create change within their communities?

Join Dr. Stephanie Gripne, CEO of the Impact Finance Center (IFC), for an introduction to:

• impact investing,
• financial innovation,
• and full spectrum capital.

Discover how IFC supported community foundations in identifying impact investment opportunities within their grant portfolios and donor advised funds using its innovative tool, the philanthropic opportunity scan.

We will learn from community foundations who have reimagined their endowment allocations, embraced participatory grantmaking, revitalized downtown real estate, and utilized social capital to drive local investment.
