Responsible Investments for Nonprofits: What to Consider Before Investing 

Tuesday, October 12 | 2 pm ET

Log in to Register 

With responsible investing growing in popularity, many nonprofit investment stewards are wondering whether they can, or should, include sustainable, green or socially responsible investments in the organization’s long-term portfolio.

• Are such investments consistent with the organization’s mission?
• How do sustainable investments perform compared to their non-sustainable peers?
• What changes need to be made to our investment policies, if any?
• What other issues should we consider before investing?

These are some of the questions Towneley Capital Management will address in this timely webinar.
 

  
Attendees can earn 1 CAE credit.
