#Matthew 19:16–30 describes " #Jesus' conversation with a #wealthy #youngman who asks how to attain #eternallife. Jesus begins by establishing a #standard of #goodness, suggesting the man keep all the #commandments. When the man says he has done this, Jesus suggests he give up his #wealth to follow Him." Why do we need to Change the Church's traditional Narrative: #Christians own more than half of the world's wealth. This also happens to be 200-300x greater than what is donated philanthropically each year. Capital of this magnitude has influence to help bridge the SDG financing gap and finance the COP21-8 commitments. Yet, many Faith Driven Investors are content to let others determine where this money is invested. Too often, they passively profit from portfolios that run counter to their beliefs. Hence, the problem is not money. The problem is whether that money believes in impact. The Invisible Heart Ventures (IHV2) want to contribute to this change. In other words, Given the vast wealth held by faith-based investors, activating their assets toward impact can lead to substantive contributions both to •Agenda 2030 and •the Paris Climate Agreement. Knowning that #faith without #action is #empty please join us (with your #privatesavings) in this holy-war against #poverty (SDG1), #hunger (SDG2), #illhealth (SDG3), lack of #qualityeducation (SDG4)), lack of access to #cleanwater & #sanitation (#WASH) (Waterpreneurs) , lack of #affordableenergy (SDG7), #workingpoverty (SDG8) and #inequality (SDG10).

Sharing this with my network as I know many of you are interested in Impact Investing.
Impact evaluation is the heart and soul of philanthropy. How do we know our funds are making the intended impact we desire? Moreover, how do we ensure our grants or our investments are not furthering harm? Impact investing is a growing field within philanthropy, and we’re fortunate to have many subject-matter experts on our team.

In a revealing survey, only 5% of foundations were found to truly align their investments with their missions, despite 92% being part of impact investing networks. This stark discrepancy highlights a broader issue: many foundations likely inadvertently fuel the problems they aim to solve through their non-aligned investments. It's time to demand more than just token shifts towards mission-aligned investing. We must advocate for 100% alignment and hold these organizations accountable, potentially reevaluating their tax-exempt status if they fail to meet this standard. Let's commend those like the Skoll Foundation for their genuine efforts, but remember, aligning investments with mission values should be the norm, not the exception. #Philanthropy #ImpactInvesting #MissionDrivenInvestment https://lnkd.in/gvn3kbXh

"Every investment leaves a mark. Many of the non-aligned investments have likely fueled the very issues these foundations aim to solve. Their vast portfolios have backed companies that view employees merely as costs, suppressing wages; tech giants that have weakened democracies, endangered our children, and divided us; businesses with supply chains involving child labor; and corporations whose environmental footprint has hastened the climate crisis. Given that these foundations typically allocate about 7% of their funds to their causes, it's not hard to imagine that the negative impacts of the other 93% could completely overshadow the good done by their grants. Without applying the same mission-driven scrutiny to their investments, it's plausible that these foundations might be doing more harm than good."
