About
Invest Impactly operates in the space between technology innovation, social impact and sustainable investing, aiming to track and remagine the flow of grants or investments to underfunded social enterprises, non-profits and conservation-related projects.
Impact areas include climate change, cultural and natural preservation, financial exclusion, agricultural, food and disease, sustainable housing and children’s education.
We believe applying the right technologies, incentives and ESG practices can better shape the planet’s innovation economies while solving a social good.
Why
Sustainable investing has grown fast in recent years and directional growth estimates of its AUM, from a survey of impact investors by GIIN, now stands at $28 billion.
Most funding in general is done through channels only open to accredited or institutional investors, though often representing individuals. Reliable information is often hard to come by, and when it is, frequently only the wealthy and powerful have access. This site is in part designed to face these shortcomings.
Mission
Ultimately, to make a discernible difference, envisioning a world where investors do not suffer sacrificing financial returns for the sake of social impact.
- Contribute – sort through, curate coverage and share insights.
- Connect – help you connect to more people, ideas or conversations.
- Change – increase awareness via social, digital and help promote events.
