Impact Finance Center
You want your money to do more than just grow – you want it to make a difference.
Deep Community Capital offers strategies to make a deeper impact on communities and causes you care about, without having to give away your money to charity. For example, we can help you move cash from big commercial banks to mission-aligned, federally-insured credit unions that invest your deposits in clean energy projects and financial inclusion initiatives. We can also help you to access impact funds that invest in small businesses, social enterprises, and affordable housing projects that are overlooked by traditional capital markets.
In addition to making an impact, these strategies offer a financial return. You get your investment principal repaid to you plus interest. Wealthy families, private foundations, and donor advised funds have been investing this way for years. For the first time, Deep Community Capital is making impact investing accessible to everyone.
We’ll create a Personalized Impact Investing Plan for you
We take your responses to our brief online survey and create a personalized impact investing strategy for you, with a plan for asset allocation and tailored investment recommendations.
We offer access to high-impact investments traditionally out of reach for most individuals
Our thematic approach offers built-in diversification across vetted community investments — from economic empowerment and environmental impact, to women’s opportunity and mission-aligned deposits.
We offer to accredited investors a series of funds with themed notes, helping you diversify your investments across the issues and communities you care about.
- Women’s Opportunity Notes target initiatives that enhance economic opportunities and financial independence for women.
- Environmental Impact Notes focus on sustainable development and renewable energy projects.
- Economic Empowerment Notes aim to increase economic access and development through financial inclusion and small business support.
- Impact Deposit Notes direct capital to federally insured institutions that support affordable housing, small business lending, and community development.
You shouldn’t have to choose between philanthropy and growing your money. Our strategies let you invest for lasting community impact—we call this deep community investing.
