The results of the U.S. 2024 elections are a shock to the system – not just to our political system, but also in how our economy operates and our society functions. While the full implications of this moment will take time to understand, there can be no doubt that the communities across the country facing economic, social and environmental hardships need our support more than ever. The private sector must rise to the occasion – not just investors and financial institutions, but also businesses, philanthropies, nonprofits and other civil society organizations.
Impact investing is at a crossroads and in the crosshairs. That is a dichotomy we continue to revisit in our work to grow the practice of impact investing for a more sustainable, equitable economy.
