press release Social Investing Research Initiative: Phase I Report Issued, Phase II Fundraising in Full Swing 22 November 2004 It's here! Continuing its commitment to research and analysis of innovation in the non-profit sector, PD has issued its State of the Social Investing Industry Report, titled "From Creative Chaos to Convergence." This industry report marks the end of Phase I of the Social Investment Research Initiative (SIRI), which was supported by Princeton Social Capital (www.princetonsc.com). Results include several (greatly needed) organizing themes for the industry, and one overarching recommendation for the field: The Social Investment Industry should aggressively engage foundations and the entire non-profit sector. Our research showed that the non-profit sector represents a virtually untapped source of new investors, investments, and social impact expertise. PD is actively raising funds to support Phase II of SIRI, which will be dedicated to finding practical ways for the non-profit sector to become more engaged in social investing. Many foundations and other non-profits have already expressed interest in showcasing their social investing activities, learning more about the field, assessing new investment options, and becoming social investments themselves. PD has augmented its network of non-profit clients and experts with a high-profile advisory board tailored to this initiative. Those who have already agreed to serve include: Stan Katz (Professor, Princeton University; President Emeritus, American Council of Learned Societies), Terry Mollner (Founder and Trustee, The Calvert Group; Executive Director, Trusteeship Institute),Terri Ludwig (President, Merrill Lynch Community Development Co.), and Mark Rosenman (Professor, Union Institute & University). The SIRI Phase I State of the Industry Report and the Phase II summary can both be downloaded directly from the PD home page (www.policydevelopment.org), or here: Download Phase I State of the Industry Report (500K PDF) Download Phase II summary (100K PDF) |
