Although more and more people are investing
their money into the markets than ever, most investors still do not feel
any connection to the companies that their funding is helping to grow. Fueled
by the desire to see their investment create a positive change in the world
around them and not just increase the size of their portfolio, many investors
are turning to Community Investing as way to reconnect their money with
the places and people they value the most.
Community Investing is perhaps the least well-known sector of Socially
Responsible Investing, but it is the one that has the most direct impact
on disadvantaged communities. Instead of an investor's capital being channeled
to companies that are only known by their stock symbol, community-based
investment is funding local nonprofits to maintain the critical facilities
that healthy communities depend on, and financing loans that enable people
to work their way out of poverty and into jobs and homes.
