What is Impact Investing?
An impact investment is a direct contribution to a company or organization that is intended to generate positive, measurable social or environmental impacts as well as a financial return. Another type of impact investment is a contribution to a private fund with an investment thesis focused on improving the local communities and beyond. Recoverable grants, private equity and venture philanthropy funds are also impact-investing strategies that donors may recommend for their donor advised fund assets.

Investors Philanthropic will determine, on a case-by-case basis, which type of investment is appropriate for each investment recommendation. A number of factors are considered, including expectations of financial return, direct or indirect impact, liquidity, risk, and whether the underlying company or project might have a difficult time raising money from non-philanthropic sources.
