Aligning Banking and Organizational Values
During MCF’s fall 2021 Impact Investing Network meeting, members discussed aligning banking practices with organizational values. Aligning values could include choosing a bank based on the diversity of its ownership or leadership, on the geographic area where the bank focuses its investments, on the locations of the bank branches, or various other factors.
Gun Violence Prevention Resources
In September 2022, MCF hosted a conversation about philanthropy's role in reducing gun violence. Presenters explored various strategies including research, education, and policy solutions that seek to reduce gun violence through an evidence informed, public health approach, and make communities safer. Gun violence prevention, working in tandem with justice system reform and violence intervention can be powerful forces toward creating safe and just communities.
