The challenges facing us as a Commonwealth, as a nation and as a species are profound. To address them, we need to dramatically increase the resources to solve them. Government and non-profit interventions are critical in improving economic equity, advancing racial justice, and responding to climate pressures. However, it is the private capital markets where we find the scale of capital needed to address the magnitude of the problems.
Impact investing aims to generate environmental and social impact while also achieving financial returns. Virginia is well-positioned to be a global example of what can be achieved when we align our money with our values.
