Canadian investors launch Impact United to mobilize capital for social change

Leading investors across Canada publicly launched a movement that seeks to mobilize billions in capital towards tackling our most pressing problems, from climate change to housing affordability to inequity. 

The initiative, known as Impact United, is a national peer-led movement and community of investors seeking to mobilize capital towards social, economic and environmental justice, comprised of individuals, families, institutions, faith-based organizations, foundations, and other asset owners. 

Inspirit Foundation is proud to back Impact United, along with other movement leaders and supporters including the Community Foundations of Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, WES Mariam Assefa Fund, Des Nedhe Group, Trottier Family Foundation, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Vancity, Canadian Women’s Foundation, and First Nations Bank of Canada. 

“At Inspirit, we are committed to a 100% impact portfolio, with the goal of using our assets to further our mission of inclusion and pluralism,” says Sadia Zaman, Inspirit’s CEO. “We are excited to join Impact United to connect with a network of investors ready to drive social change through impact investing.”
