Impact Investing

What is "impact investing"?

GCF has developed a new investment that ties the discipline of the market with the social mission of philanthropy. “Impact investments” use charitable assets to invest in projects that can generate revenue as well as direct community benefits.They help make an even greater difference in multiple ways, right here where we live!

Leverage Your Giving Now

Through your donor advised fund, you can now partner with GCF to jump-start projects key to our community’s vitality. Together, our charitable funds can leverage non-charitable financial support from other foundations, financial institutions and private investors.

Join an exclusive group of donors to invest in local projects that will make our community a more vibrant place to live and work, creating more opportunity for everyone while “recycling” your charitable capital to use with other projects. It’s an alternative to investing in the stock market that directly benefits our community. 

To learn about how you can use your donor advised fund to make impact investments and about our current deals, please see below.
