Our Mission
Community Impact Investments (CII) is a catalytic fund and solution platform centering capital system redesign. We do this by investing in both early-stage solutions and the infrastructure – policy, practice, and leadership – required to make those solutions viable at scale.
We are practitioners…
community leaders, and social entrepreneurs who have faced, and continue to face, many of the same hurdles that challenge the leaders we’re supporting and whose work we’re elevating
Our Investment Approach
-
Invest early in scalable solutions
We invest early in systemic solutions with the potential to scale especially those that are high-impact but historically under-resourced.
-
Lead with an asset frame
We anchor investment in local expertise, energy, and existing community assets rather than focusing on deficits.
-
Co-design capital
We structure capital in partnership with Solution Leaders, designing investments around what is actually required to move promising solutions to scale.
-
Provide a continuum of support
We align capital, people, partnerships, and shared tools around Solution Leaders so high-impact solutions have the infrastructure they need to grow.
-
Depth over breadth
We prioritize long-term partnerships over short-term transactions, strengthening ecosystems and stacking solutions to drive durable impact.
-
Advance practice and policy
We work alongside Solution Leaders to move innovations beyond pilot programs advancing practices and policies that enable solutions to scale locally and nationally.
