Mission
TO ALIGN CAPITAL WITH SOCIAL JUSTICE VALUES, AND HELP ACTIVISTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ACCESS CAPITAL AS A TOOL FOR TRANSFORMATIVE SOCIAL CHANGE. WE EMPOWER COMMUNITY LEADERS TO SHAPE HOW CAPITAL FLOWS AFFECT THEM - BOTH IN TERMS OF HOLDING CAPITAL ACCOUNTABLE AND HAVING A SAY IN ITS DEPLOYMENT - BY DEMYSTIFYING FINANCE AND BUILDING CAPACITY FOR ACTIVISTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. WE SUPPORT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN EXCLUDED FROM CAPITAL DECISIONS TO RECLAIM THEIR SEAT AT THE TABLE. WE SUPPORT INVESTORS COMMITTED TO DEEPENING THEIR IMPACT INVESTMENT PRACTICE TO ADOPT TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACHES AND DEMONSTRATE THE VIABILITY OF THE APPROACH VIA EDUCATION, CONCRETE TOOLS AND STRATEGIES, AND OVERALL GUIDANCE. WE FOSTER A NEW DISCOURSE AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN THESE TWO SETS OF PREVIOUSLY DISCONNECTED STAKEHOLDERS - INVESTORS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE PRACTITIONERS - BY CREATING CONNECTIONS, BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS OF KNOWLEDGE AND VALUES, AND FACILITATING DIALOGUE.
