The Venture Impact Program from MCF enables impact investing through philanthropy. Available to donors with Enhanced and Virtuoso funds, it provides the unique ability to support both non-profit and for-profit businesses that are doing social or environmental good.

It’s an exciting way to launch mission-driven entrepreneurs, accelerate impact fund managers, and fund nonprofits.

How it Works

MCF has a partnership with ImpactAssets, a market leader in impact investing. Leveraging ImpactAssets’ significant expertise, MCF is able to offer donors the ability to identify and support ventures in fields that matter to them personally. Whether locally or anywhere in the world, donors now have an opportunity to engage in impact investing by leveraging their philanthropic assets in a way that can have both a measurable impact and a possible financial return back to the donor’s fund at MCF.

Investments can be in companies, funds, and other enterprises that aim to solve social or environmental challenges while generating a financial return. All entities must have a commitment to measuring and reporting on their financial returns as well as social or environmental impact.
