Mission-Related Investments to Advance Racial Equity and Justice

31 Mar 2023

In this brief, we explore actions that federal policymakers can take to encourage greater private foundation use of mission-related investments—defined as an investment made by a private foundation from its endowment that relates to its charitable purposes—to advance racial equity and racial justice goals. We draw from a literature review, interviews, field consultations, a focus group, and industry conference content.
