Impact Frontiers
Advancing a world in which all investments are made and measured in consideration of their integrated financial, social, and environmental impacts
Impact Frontiers is a learning and innovation collaboration of investors and field-builders dedicated to advancing the integration of impact into financial frameworks, processes, and decision-making.
What we do
- Convene peer communities of leading investors and partner with field-building industry associations to support investors in their networks.
- Guide and support these investors through a tested, flexible process to build their capabilities in impact management and impact-financial integration.
- Publish and share what we learn in open-source articles and handbooks co-authored with partners.
In 2021, we will launch the next round of investor collaborations. Contact us to explore how you can join these collaborations.
