We are designing & managing training programs for results, delivering for workers. In UP Fund workers get wraparound support and training but only repay if they see results. If they don’t earn above a floor they pay nothing - @TracyPalandjian @SocialFinanceUS #MissionInvest2022

@AOMard talks @ANDPINC & growing ecosystem of partners delivering affordable homeownership, safe stable housing, resilient equitable neighborhoods in Atlanta #MissionInvest2022

Re #ClimateChange policies, mission investors can fund removal of barriers to deployment: delivery acceleration, amplification, build trust, keep workers & communities at the center - @alizaidi46 @WhiteHouse #MissionInvest2022

Land ownership & stewardship (land banks, land trusts) is a strategy @Surdna_Fndn is pursuing to mitigate climate refugees / displacement @donchennyc #MissionInvest2022

We need a “plumbing system”, pathways to get #ClimateChange funding down to the ground, to BIPOC led orgs that know solutions that work - @donchennyc @Surdna_Fndn #MissionInvest2022

We’ve made racial equity and climate transition throughlines for everything we do; they can’t be separated - @allen_tonya @McKnightFdn #MissionInvest2022

Were bringing a divest-invest approach to climate investing, bringing our investing & program people together in the conversation - @jpalfrey @macfound #MissionInvest2022

.@DarrenWalker makes the point that racial equity is easy to talk about—it’s harder to act on. To walk the walk, Shanaysha Sauls says that the @baltcommfdn began providing more technical assistance to racially diverse applicants during the application process #MissionInvest2022

It’s critical to engage foundation investment committees in conversation around mission alignment, values & principals that guide ALL of our work, have to holistically build culture of the whole Board - @darrenwalker @FordFoundation #MissionInvest2022

Anchors like universities, banks, local organizations, foundations large & small with @baltcommfdn as humble enabler —collaborators making change happen in Baltimore - Shanaysha Sauls #MissionInvest2022
