Impact investing offers a range of approaches that foundations may not be aware of. From ESG integration and thematic investing to private investments, donor‑advised funds, and mission‑aligned portfolios, each has its own distinct opportunities and trade‑offs. In this panel, leaders will explore the different ways investors can pursue impact alongside financial returns, and how to align strategies with values, goals, and risk tolerance. Attendees will gain a clearer framework for evaluating impact investments thoughtfully and responsibly.
