Investments

The Foundation’s approach to impact investing is guided by our Investment Policy Statement, which includes asset allocation targets and offers additional detail on our financial and impact objectives. Assets are managed for both impact alignment and financial return, under the current assumption that the foundation will exist in perpetuity.
