Impact Finance Center is a multi-university nonprofit academic center that identifies, trains, and activates individuals and organizations to become impact  investors, helping them better align their assets with their values.

While most similar organizations work to increase the uptake of impact investing from foundations and educated investors, the Impact Finance Center (IFC) also reaches out to the public — many of whom know nothing about how to create a social impact with their money.

Their courses are greatly needed because so little is being done to provide people outside of philanthropy with impact investment educational opportunities. In its own words, “Through education efforts, we raise awareness of impact investing and create a larger set of impact-investment-savvy investors and investees ready to make deals.”
