Abstract:
Grantmakers In Health’s 2011 GIH Guide to Impact Investing offered a framework to help funders think strategically about the potential of impact investing and move forward with investment strategies that could enhance achievement of their missions. It gave examples of nontraditional funding techniques and provided a framework for considering new types of investments. The report was grounded in the view that impact investment strategies offer funders tremendous power to shape, accelerate, and scale up desired results, and as such are an effective means of leveraging scarce resources. This update builds on the 2011 report with new information about the growth of the impact investment field, case studies of recent innovative investment techniques and projects, and an appendix on terminology, investment portfolio approaches, and strategies for financing impact investments.
