Impact Investing at the Federation
Impact investing can take many forms, all with the overarching goal of creating positive change while potentially earning some financial return. At the Federation, we put donated dollars to work through impact-first investments that fill critical capital gaps and are focused on solving pressing issues in our community. Our goal is to preserve your charitable funds while potentially earning a small return. Money invested is returned to charitable funds at the end of the term to be used again for investing or grantmaking.
We invest in:
Jewish founders, leaders, or social entrepreneurs
Organizations that directly serve the Jewish community
Organizations that support the Federation’s impact pillars:
A Jewish student communal-living house needing renovations and retrofitting
Zero-interest loans providing financial lifelines for members of the Jewish community
An Israeli-led climate justice fund working to make climate solutions accessible
The Power of Investing
This innovative philanthropic tool helps maximize your impact through recycling: investing keeps your money working over and over, creating positive change where it’s needed most.
