Our next Community Capital Live interview features Betty Francisco, CEO, and Aliana Piñeiro, Impact Director of Boston Impact Initiative (BII), a nonprofit impact investing fund focused on economic and racial justice. Their mission: Transform the impact investing field so that economic and racial justice become integral to any place-based investment strategy.
Kevin Jones of Neighborhood Economics, Stephanie Swepson Twitty and Jazmin Rogers of Eagle Market Streets, and Michael Shuman of The Main Street Journal will host a twice-monthly interview series with community investment fund leaders nationwide. They will help decode the DNA of different designs, enabling you and your community to replicate them.
Running the show is Joel Skene, whose Mindful Marketplace is already introducing local investment concepts to thousands of listeners. Co-sponsors include The Main Street Journal, Neighborhood Economics, American Independent Business Alliance, and ImpactAlpha. Data from each show will ultimately feed a public wiki to help you build support for your own community’s fund. Learn more about the series here.
