Greenbiz + Impact Finance Center Climate Equity Learning Circle

After a decade-plus of planting seeds and growing seedlings, Impact Finance Center is starting to harvest. We’re on track to grow 2-4X in 2022 and have three possible sources of annual recurring revenue. Plus, we are planting the seeds to start a new impact independent trust company and foundation, which is the final chapter of the puzzle. As part of this growth, we are announcing our new strategic partnerships such as the one with GreenBiz, which is beginning with launching a small group Learning Circle with 10-14 companies.

About:

In 2019, Impact Finance Center (IFC) launched a national Corporate Financial Innovation and Impact Investing Strategy with a high-level goal to identify, educate, and activate more corporate impact investors to integrate full spectrum capital across departments. The first step was to present at three conferences (CO Impact Days, SOCAP, and Net Impact) where we tested the concept of this corporate strategy.

In 2020, we launched the full 2-day Executive Education Corporate Financial Innovation and Impact Investing course in multiple locations across the United States. These passionate community and corporate leaders brought their expertise and real-world examples of how full spectrum capital, impact investing, corporate innovation, and corporate philanthropy can help companies achieve their financial and impact goals simultaneously.
