Impact Investing Office Hours | Journey to Impact Investing

Many of VFN’s members are interested in Impact Investing but are unsure how to go from concept to project ready. Join us for our next Impact Investing Office Hours Session as we cultivate a space where members can learn from others’ experience. The Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, a public entity, and the Weissberg Foundation, a private family foundation, are both early in their impact investing journey. Hear from them about their process for identifying and designing their impact priorities as well as how they’ve navigated the Board advocacy process.
