Description
This guide provides impact investors with tools to tighten the link between their investment decisions and impact creation. The authors identify their intent as threefold: to attract more capital to impact investing; to assist impact investors as they move from organizational change to executing and refining their impact investment decision-making process; and to narrow the gap within foundations between program professionals and investment professionals thereby contributing to a mutual understanding and implementation of a portfolio approach to impact investing. After describing the field and the impact investing cycle, the report provides tools and techniques and uses case studies to articulate mission and values, create impact themes, define impact, develop an impact investing policy, generate deal flow, analyze deals, and evaluate impact.- Mission Investors Exchange
