place-based impact investing

Unlocking economic opportunities and building communities

The places where we love, work, play, and spend time with family matter. Directing public and private impact capital to underinvested places – commonly referred to as place-based impact investing – has been shown to be an effective way to raise living standards, provide economic opportunity, and build thriving, inclusive communities.

Private investment is critical for the success of place-based impact investing and evidence shows that this way of investing can boost overall investment outcomes and financial performance. Meaningful engagement with communities can help investors to do this in a sustainable way that boost long-term outcomes for everyone. We have put together a bank of case studies that provide evidence of that.
