Impact Investing

Impact Invest­ing

Through a new impact invest­ing mod­el, the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion will invest funds and put exist­ing funds to work help­ing our community.

Next Steps

As part of our ongo­ing com­mit­ment to enhanc­ing the sup­port we pro­vide to our non­prof­it com­mu­ni­ty, the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole has ini­ti­at­ed a learn­ing jour­ney aimed at iden­ti­fy­ing new ways to offer low-cost cap­i­tal to non­prof­its with­in our com­mu­ni­ty. To achieve this, we have part­nered with Impact Finance Cen­ter to explore Impact Invest­ing and Finan­cial Inno­va­tion, with the goal of bring­ing addi­tion­al resources to the impor­tant pro­grams of our non­prof­it community.

To help us iden­ti­fy the oppor­tu­ni­ties in our com­mu­ni­ty, we have cre­at­ed an online sur­vey for our non­prof­it partners. 

  • We envi­sion our first invest­ments to be focused on refi­nanc­ing out­stand­ing debt or pro­vid­ing upfront cap­i­tal for full-time Devel­op­ment posi­tions, how­ev­er our goal is to under­stand the full spec­trum of need. We want to shape our pro­gram with the ulti­mate recip­i­ents in mind, and your help in iden­ti­fy­ing where cap­i­tal con­straints cur­rent­ly exist offers us the insight that we need. Non­prof­its cur­rent­ly seek­ing addi­tion­al resources and imme­di­ate or future cap­i­tal needs are asked to com­plete the sur­vey by Octo­ber 15th. The sur­vey should take no more than 10 min­utes of your time.
