About The ImPact

The ImPact is a global membership community for families committed to aligning their assets with their values. We are a nonprofit organization, registered in the United States in 2014. Our mission is to help families make more impact investments more effectively; our purpose is to improve the probability and pace of solving social and environmental problems by increasing the flow of capital to investments generating measurable impact.

Today, The ImPact connects a community of more than 90 families from 20 countries on five continents. We gather at global summits, regional convenings, dedicated working groups, and immersive field trips.

Everything The ImPact does is built on a foundation of peer-to-peer exchange: members share knowledge, insight, and opportunities to convert their interest in impact investing into action. Whether they are beginners or leading experts, The ImPact works with families to build a customized plan of membership that will provide the experiences, best practices, and relationships they need to progress toward their impact goals. Our operations are funded through members’ annual contributions and grants and donations from families and foundations keen to support its work or specific projects.

We are committed to supporting emergent collaboration by our members to push on the frontiers of impact finance. New projects and initiatives are developed in “The Lab,” The ImPact’s incubator for research and co-creation of innovative, impact-driven initiatives that are unlikely to otherwise occur. Lab projects come in many forms, but they all address significant gaps in local, regional, or global impact investing markets and ecosystems. They push on significant points of leverage of the financial system and are designed to have impact beyond themselves. Lab initiatives play with ideas, structures, practices, or stakeholder groups that are new or unproven in the market in which the project exists. Since 2021, The ImPact Lab has supported the launch of four major initiatives: Trimtab Impact, the Transformation Capital Initiative, the Ownership Capital Lab, and the Innovative Finance Initiative.
