The Certificate in Impact and Sustainable Investing came at the right time, as the foundation where I work was beginning to align our endowment with our mission. The program provided practical tools and frameworks that have shaped our thinking—especially around catalytic investment strategies and community-based investing. I left with a clearer understanding of how impact investments can amplify our grantmaking goals, along with practical approaches to impact measurement that support accountability without adding unnecessary complexity. For anyone ready to move from ideas to action, this program is a great guide for aligning capital with values.
