From Integrated Rural Strategies Group: Foundations are increasingly considering impact investing as a philanthropic strategy to complement their grantmaking and more fully align their philanthropic assets with their mission-based work. Indeed, supporting foundations to \u201cliberate philanthropic assets\u201d is at the core of NFG\u2019s Theory of Change. Impact investing is a powerful tool to do so, and is a focus of praxis within the NFG and Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions foundation CEO cohort program, Philanthropy Forward. Rural America is home to the highest rates of persistent poverty in the United States, coupled with a history of low philanthropic investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amongst rural regions, Appalachia, along with the Mississippi Delta and Native American\/tribal lands, is one of the highest regions of intergenerational poverty. Invest Appalachia, a new \u201cblended capital\u201d impact investment platform, aims to increase investment into Central Appalachian communities that have been historically impacted by the extraction of the region\u2019s natural resources, underinvestment, and generational poverty. IA\u2019s infrastructure connects community-aligned projects and businesses to creative, flexible capital to absorb risk and leverage additional investment into rural communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

IA seeks to circumvent investment and philanthropic practices that often associate rurality with risk, using trust-based philanthropy, creative financing tools, and a partnership-based investment approach to spark transformative change in rural communities. Join us for Part 1 of this two-part series as we explore the who, what, how, and why of impact investing in Appalachia. Part 1 will offer an interactive learning experience about Invest Appalachia\u2019s unique community-centered model and how and why foundations are partnering with IA to liberate their philanthropic assets to bring critical resources to this region.<\/p>\n

The webinar will take place on June 6 at 2pm. Learn more and register here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
