Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors ,
December 2009
The sharp dichotomy between profit-maximizing financial investment and “give-it-away” charity is gradually losing its edge. However, if we want to ensure that our good intentions create real impact, these aspirations must be supported by a well-considered investment strategy and a rigorous execution process. This report by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors describes impact investing, defined as "seeking to generate social and environmental impacts in addition to financial returns,” and illustrates organizational strategies and tools, implementation processes, investment opportunities, and challenges through case studies.
