Announcing the release of our 2024 Impact Report - Solutions for a Better Future: https://lnkd.in/gqWE3Kif This year’s report showcases how we put the full spectrum of capital to work to advance critical issue areas and further our clients’ impact goals. Last year, ImpactAssets: - Invested $260M in nearly 300 private companies and funds - Disbursed more than 14,000 grants totaling $260M - Expanded to over 1,000 companies and funds in ImpactAssets’ portfolio - Partnered with the Justice Climate Fund to advance an equitable and inclusive energy transition (with a $1B grant from the EPA) This collective impact would not be possible without our inspiring community of clients, partners, investees and team. We invite you to read the report to learn more about the impact of activating capital for the greater good. Thank you for your partnership! #impinv #philanthropy #donoradvisedfunds

We recently hosted a conversation with Spencer Glendon, Founder of Probable Futures, and Margret Trilli, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of ImpactAssests to look at the latest scientific data and models to understand the realities of our rapidly changing climate. In the discussion, Margret and Spencer underscored the urgency of the climate crisis, exploring the role of investing in accelerating climate adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as approaches to fostering engagement, education and climate awareness to drive collective action. 3 Key takeaways from the conversation: 1. Investors should be asking about climate change impacts as part of routine due diligence for every investment. 2. Climate adaptation remains overlooked by investors and businesses because its goals are often not as clear as other climate strategies. 3. Adaptation-focused investments must align with a just transition. Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/g2pJAqbK #impactinvesting #climateresilience #climateadaptation

Looking for a tool to supercharge your charitable giving as the calendar year winds down? Donor advised funds, or “DAFs,” have a track record of substantially increasing annual giving! A DAF is like your personal tax-advantaged philanthropic fund: You contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits whenever you choose. The flexibility of a DAF allows you to make contributions now and decide later which charities to support – allowing for thoughtful and impactful giving. At ImpactAssets, we take the benefits of a DAF to the next level: 100% of ungranted funds in an ImpactAssets DAF is invested for impact. This means every dollar in your DAF is working towards good even before you recommend grants, allowing you to preserve and grow your giving dollars while driving positive impact on the causes you care about most. Learn more about how you can make a difference with an ImpactAssets DAF at our Impact Investing Lab TODAY at 10a PT/1p ET: https://lnkd.in/g34g2JXh #DAFday #philanthropy #donoradvisedfunds #impactinvesting

Fresh from an inspiring #ClimateWeekNYC, we are feeling hopeful and energized! It was wonderful to meet with and hear from brilliant and creative climate leaders and impact investors working to solve the global #climatecrisis. We are grateful to all who joined our Private Capital Summit: Catalyzing Climate Action in NYC to explore how impact investors can meet the moment by investing in critical areas including deep decarbonization, nature-based solutions and an inclusive energy transition. Special thanks to our co-hosts Open Society Foundations, Soros Economic Development Fund and U.S. Impact Investing Alliance. We were also inspired by the many events we attended throughout the week, including those by Concordia, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, RWJF, WaterEquity, Generate, The Nature Conservancy, Confluence Philanthropy, Vibrant Data Labs, Collective Action for Just Finance, International Funders for Indigenous Peoples, Women Moving Millions, The Bridgespan Group, UBS, ImpactAlpha and Heading for Change. Climate Week NYC underscores both the need and opportunity for all of us to work together — impact investors, philanthropists, policymakers and entrepreneurs — to help drive a #justtransition to a sustainable future.
