More for Mission Leadership Committee member - The California Endowment - commits $75 million to mission investing

Lisa Hagerman, Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

The California Endowment joined the More for Mission Leadership Committee this month. In late 2008 the foundation committed $75 million to mission investing. The foundation will seek opportunities for mission investments that align with the California Endowment’s new 10-year strategic direction (2010-2020): Building Healthy Communities. The goal of this place-based strategy is to transform distressed California communities into neighborhoods that are safe and healthy places for children to grow and learn. The California Endowment has recently selected 14 communities, impacted by low health outcomes, yet with the potential to develop into model communities. Building Healthy Communities connects to the foundation’s broader policy strategy statewide so that it can affect systems change throughout California.
