Our Work in Impact Investments

Impact investments complement the Foundation’s grant strategy, tackling complex societal problems at scale. Through our investments portfolio, we address issues that limit opportunity for young people and their families, such as the diminishing supply of affordable housing and a widening wealth gap in the United States. We make investments that improve the livelihoods of children and families in the U.S. by advancing access to affordable housing, quality jobs and asset-building opportunities.
