California Sustainable Forestry Investor Club
Activating Full Spectrum Capital for California's Sustainable Forestry sector.
How do we drive more investment capital to social ventures working in the sustainable forestry sector within California to reduce our fire risk, improve forest health, provide good jobs, and construct buildings that improve climate?
In partnership with Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC), Impact Finance Center is working to build the infrastructure to achieve this goal. The infrastructure includes Investor Accelerators (Impact Investing Giving Circles) and Investor Clubs that act as a marketplace to directly connect investors with the projects they care about.
Impact Finance Center and RCAC will be hosting quarterly California Sustainable Forestry Investor Clubs, with the goal of growing the Club to 250 investors (e.g., individuals, private foundations, community foundations, endowments, family offices, corporations, banks, and life insurance companies) by 2025.
