What is Impact Investing?

Impact investing is using capital to make a social or environmental impact. In addition to making financial returns on investment, impact investors look at how they can make a difference in the world through finances, business ventures, and projects. Impact investing can cover a wide array of topics from sustainability in agriculture, to reducing carbon footprints with technology, to advocating for job security and financial literacy. You can be an impact investor in whatever interests you - there are a multitude of different social and environmental issues impacting the world today that can be addressed through impact investing.

Who’s going to solve these challenges?

Impact investing serves as a new investment strategy within many different companies, organizations, and funds -- nonprofit and for-profit -- with the intention to generate positive social and/or environmental impact.

Every day, the world faces hunger, inadequate healthcare, unsafe water, inequality, and challenges associated with climate change and a lack of natural resources.
