Mission Investing Institute 2018 | Mission Investors Exchange | 6 September 2018 | The Center for Healthy Communities - The California Endowment, 2650 Virginia Ave NW Washington, DC 20037

Mission Investors Exchange’s 15th Mission Investing Institute at The California Endowment’s Center for Healthy Communities in Oakland, California, will feature 2 ½ days of member-led sessions bringing together approximately 50 staff members from foundations or other asset owners across the country.

This intensive training experience is designed to help philanthropic professionals (whether they are part of a well-established impact investing program or developing one from scratch) gain exposure to approaches that can help them get started in impact investing and/or advance their practice. Through interactive exercises in small-group settings, participants will have the opportunity to hear from their peers in philanthropy, build relationships with fellow professionals, and learn from seasoned investors in the field. They will walk away with:

• A clear understanding of the impact investing landscape, including commonly used tools and terms
• Strategies on how to manage and measure impact
• Concrete examples of structuring, sourcing, diligence, and how organizations are incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion goals into investments
• New connections and networks to support the development of their impact investing programs
