Investing for your good and the good of your community

Could it be true that you could get a return on your invested dollars and do something good to help out others? Well you may be surprised to learn that there is such a vehicle. It’s managed by the Calvert Foundation, In their owns words:

The Calvert Social Investment Foundation (Calvert Foundation) was established with a simple goal: to help end poverty through investment. It serves as a facility for individuals and institutions, seeking to place capital on softer terms to finance affordable homes, fund small and micro businesses and to make available essential community services. Calvert Foundation works to provide investment capital to local partner non-profits that use common sense and compassion to help people in disadvantaged communities to work themselves out of poverty.

Vehicles such as the Calvert Foundation are the providers or funnel of capital from people like you and me to programs of Social Entrepreneurship that do one thing; drive solutions to the many problems plagueing our society rather than letting them languish any longer.
