July 13th, 2016 | 11:30am - 1:30pm MST
Please join Confluence Philanthropy and New Mexico Association of Grantmakers for a funder-only luncheon discussion about funding and impact investing and Native American communities. This facilitated group discussion will explore the range of impact investing strategies funders can employ to direct capital more effectively to Native communities. Confluence Philanthropy will share a few key lessons learned from the experiences of the Native Green Loan Fund, a public-private partnership between the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department (IAD), Native Capital Access and Clearinghouse Capital CDFI, Confluence Philanthropy, and philanthropic entities based in the United States. We will also hear updates from New Mexico Funders on local impact investing efforts currently underway.
This conversation will ask the following questions: What are best practices when considering investment within Native communities? How can funders ensure that their investments are generative, and not extractive? What opportunities for collaboration currently exist in the region, and where are the gaps? Join us for an interactive discussion about what philanthropists can do to help build the field of impact investing, and ensure the agency of Tribes remains central as the shift to impact investment moves forward.
This event is open to funders only.
