The convening partners on the Accelerating Impact Investing Initiative (AI3) project are pleased to present a new discussion paper, “Financing Social Innovation: Analyzing Domestic Impact Investing Policy in the United States.”
The AI3 project is a collaborative effort between Enterprise Community Partners, the Initiative for Responsible Investment, and InSight at Pacific Community Ventures to research, identify and educate stakeholders on the best opportunities for strengthening impact investing in the United States through sound public policy.
Informed by our research over the past year and a half, as well as the invaluable contributions of our partners and broader coalition, “Financing Social Innovation” offers a view into the intersection of federal policy and impact investing in the U.S. It includes a look at both historic and present ways policy leverages private dollars for social and environmental impact, and offers a set of criteria for evaluating new impact investing policy proposals going forward.
The paper is intended to spark discussion among impact investing practitioners and advocates about the best opportunities and most effective means for advancing sound policy reform. We encourage readers to send us their comments and questions on this latest piece of AI3 research, and to stay engaged in the conversation about theimportance of effective policy in impact investing.
