Members-Only Portal
More for Mission has launched a Members-Only portal of mission investment opportunities to help our network of foundations more readily identify potential investments that are a good match with their mission. Simplifying a process that can sometimes seem overwhelming, especially to foundations that are new to the field, the portal enables mission-driven investors to review the landscape of investment opportunities across product types, themes, and geographies.
Accessible only to More for Mission foundation members, the portal provides More for Mission foundations with restricted access to Cambridge Associates™ proprietary database of approximately 286 fund management firms that offer public and private markets mission-related funds across asset classes and strategies, including community investing, ESG investing, and double bottom line real estate. The portal is updated on a quarterly basis, most recently in April, with data as of Q1 2011.
The portal also provides access to tailored search functions (by organization type and state) of community investing opportunities in US Treasury certified community development financial institutions (CDFIs). A CDFI is a financial institution whose primary mission is to promote community development—providing credit and financial services to underserved markets and populations in low-and moderate-income areas across the country. The list includes over 900 certified Community Development Financial Institutions and is current as of February 1, 2011. The portal also provides access to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) low-income designated credit unions.
The members-only portal and its restricted files are available to mission-driven foundation investors that are members of the More for Mission Campaign. Please send us your information to learn more about joining the Campaign and accessing restricted files.
