Public Policy Wins to Benefit Communities: The Roles for Mission Investors in 2021

Host Organization: Mission Investors Exchange

About

When it comes to making positive change, public policies codify shared agreements and accelerate priorities, potentially driving significant gains for communities. Join us on February 3rd at 3-4:30PM ET for a webinar exploring how mission investors can help advance policies that benefit communities, not only through their impact investments but through thoughtful, strategic, and appropriate engagement with public officials.
Speakers
  • Shena Ashley, Vice President, Nonprofits and Philanthropy, Urban Institute
  • Lisa Mensah, President & CEO, Opportunity Finance Network
  • Fran Seegull, Executive Director, The U.S. Impact Investing Alliance
The webinar will kick off with an overview from Fran Seegull of The U.S. Impact Investing Alliance’s new publication, Private Capital, Public Good — which identifies recommendations for policymakers in Washington — followed by a fireside chat and Q&A with all three speakers, exploring the following questions and more:
  • What are our policies saying about the country’s shared values and is it possible to build bridges to mend the fractures we are facing?
  • In the urgency for a just and equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, how should foundations invest their time and assets in the context of a new Congress and Presidential Administration?
  • How can impact investors show up to to continue moving the needle for impact investing priorities that drive the market as a whole?
If you have any questions, or challenges accessing the registration information, please contact Karla Moreno at kmoreno@missioninvestors.org.

This webinar is part of a Public Policy Learning Series, presented in partnership with The U.S. Impact Investing Alliance, Opportunity Finance Network, Urban Institute, U.S. Economic Development Administration, and the Council on Foundations. Stay tuned for more events in the coming weeks.
