Impact Investing for Advanced Practitioners Peer Network

Join a community of family philanthropy executives, board members, and impact investing leaders who are committed to advancing their philanthropy’s impact investing strategy. This peer-driven network provides a space for collaborative learning, sharing of investment opportunities, and consultation on challenges, helping members navigate the complexities of aligning investments with mission-driven goals.

Through quarterly convenings, participants will engage in deep discussions, case studies, and real-world applications to tackle issues such as:

• Building an investment pipeline: How are family philanthropies identifying and sourcing high-quality impact investments? Members will share approaches to discovering new opportunities and developing a strong, mission-aligned investment pipeline.
• Overcoming barriers to implementation: What common obstacles arise when integrating impact investments into portfolios? From governance hurdles to capacity constraints, participants will workshop solutions and learn from each other’s experiences.
• Seizing emerging opportunities: What are the latest trends and strategies in impact investing? Explore innovative models, new sectors, and tools that can help unlock greater impact.
• Assessing impact and performance: How do family philanthropies effectively measure success? Members will exchange strategies for impact measurement, due diligence, and ongoing portfolio evaluation.
• Sharing investment opportunities and peer consultation: Where can family philanthropies co-invest, collaborate, or learn from one another? Members will have a dedicated space to present active investment opportunities and seek feedback on challenges they’re facing in real-time.
