Impact investing: harnessing capital markets to solve problems at scale

Antony Bugg-Levine and John Goldstein

Community Development Innovation Review, 2009, issue 2, 30-41

Abstract: There is not enough charitable and government capital to meet the social and environmental challenges we face. Where, then, will we find the money to complement charity and government to bring solutions to scale? The Rockefeller Foundation launched its Harnessing the Power of Impact Investing initiative in November 2008 because it believes that impact investing can be part of the answer. Imprint Capital was similarly founded in 2007 to help the growing ranks of institutions and high-net-worth individuals create and execute strategies to drive impact with their investments.
