Taking Impact Investing to Scale
Confluence Philanthropy's Advisors Forum will convene investment professionals—Confluence members and colleagues—to think collaboratively around how to scale the industry. Content will focus on sharing and comparing leading approaches to market-rate impact investment strategies most popular with clients this year.

The Forum is also designed to foster better communication and understanding between advisors and their clients to accelerate the flow of capital into the industry. Our goal is to build community, foster professional connections, and share opportunities and insights to increase the scale and influence of impact investing.

Who Should Attend
We welcome the participation of endowment fiduciaries, experienced asset managers, investment advisors and consultants. The Forum is not designed for companies or non-profits seeking investment. Please note that due to limited space, Confluence members will receive priority access.

All Confluence members are welcome to attend and do not need to complete an application to register. Note that there is no limit to the number of staff your firm may send. All team members should use your firm's unique member code to complete your registration.

Confluence Philanthropy is not a funding organization, nor do we channel philanthropic capital directly to discreet individuals, investment opportunities or funds. The Advisors Forum is intended to serve as a private space for foundation leaders and advisors to meet and strategize about how best to align investment assets with values. In order to retain the integrity of this convening we must maintain a strict policy of non-solicitation during and after the event. We ask that advisors and grant seekers not solicit asset owners in attendance unless invited. Those who violate this policy will not be invited to participate in future meetings. Thank you for your support in protecting the intent of the Advisors Forum.
