Community Connect: Preparing for Impact Investment

As leaders in the social impact community, we’re called to think differently about how we mobilize time, talent, and treasure. Traditional grantmaking alone cannot meet the urgency of today’s challenges. To truly shift power and drive systemic change, we must also explore how capital flows—and who decides where.

Join us on May 21st for an in person interactive workshop hosted by SVP Denver, Impact Finance Center, and OMNI Institute, designed for both philanthropic practitioners and bold social mission organizations looking to better understand and prepare for social impact investment.

Together, we’ll explore the fundamentals of social impact investing and how this tool can work alongside grantmaking and community engagement strategies to fuel long-term, community-led transformation. Whether you're a leader in philanthropy or a changemaker shaping a mission-driven organization, this session offers insights, tools, and connections to help you engage in this evolving capital landscape.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The role of impact investing in shifting philanthropic power
• Real examples of place-based investment rooted in community voice
• How impact-driven individuals and institutions can bring this lens into their work and institutions
• Tools and resources to begin aligning investments with mission and equity

Who should attend?

• Seasoned Impact Investors
• Prospective Impact Investors
• Organizations seeking to learn more about impact investment

Let’s build a more regenerative future—one where money moves with meaning and communities shape their own outcomes.
