Transform Finance Institute for Social Justice Leaders
The Institute for Social Justice Leaders is a unique opportunity to learn how to reclaim finance to serve the needs of your community. Come learn with your peers how capital works, what it does to communities, and what it could do instead if communities and activists were at the helm.
For capital to become a force for good, we need social justice leaders like you to devise ways to engage with it and take it back. Come join us and add finance to your social justice toolbox!
IS THIS FOR YOU?
Each prior cohort brought together over 35 progressive organizations serving millions of individuals. Most worked directly at the grassroots level, some were nationwide organizers, and over 75% of participants were people of color.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEAVE THE TRAINING WITH:
- An orientation to the connection between social justice and capital flows
- The basics of finance and the various investment instruments available to organizations, with a focus on impact investing and venture philanthropy
- Three main social change strategies for capital engagement: Investments and earned revenue to supplement other funding sources; Market activity as a driver of social change outcomes; Investor accountability for inbound capital flows
