We believe that where and how we invest our money matters
With nearly 30 years of experience, Calvert Impact is the leading nonprofit impact firm tapping the US capital markets to channel money into high impact projects globally. We create products and services that enable everyone – from an individual with $20 to institutions with billions - to invest for impact with integrity.
To meet our most urgent global challenges – climate change, inequality, racial and gender inequities – we need a financial system that prioritizes solutions instead of one that exacerbates the problems. We have to ensure that the growing interest in sustainable investing is translated into action. That means activating the full power of the capital markets without diluting the integrity of the social and environmental impact.
We raise capital from individual and institutional investors to finance sectors that mainstream capital markets aren’t comfortable with (yet), but that have potential for transformative impact - sectors like off-grid solar in Sub-Saharan Africa or small business in unbanked communities across the US - and work to get capital flowing more efficiently and at scale.
How? We build financial products that meet the needs of the projects and businesses in these high-potential sectors and the needs of the people who want to invest in them. We know how to design investment products that are easily accessible so more people can put their money to work for a better world.
We have spent the last 25 years moving billions of dollars supporting the growth of markets like microfinance, affordable housing, and clean energy access. In our next 25 years we need to move trillions.
We’re ready to go. Are you?
