What is Social Investing?
Social Investing, also referred to as “mission investing” in the philanthropic world, means placing assets into investments that provide a societal or mission-related benefit in addition to a financial return.
Social investments — also known as impact investments or mission investments — generate positive results for people and positive financial returns to channel back into doing good.
In philanthropy, foundations that practice social investing generally direct a portion of their endowments into projects and investments that further their social goals rather than relying primarily on grant making to produce results.
