Description

A Bridgespan Group study found that only 5% of foundation assets — $1.63T in 2024 — were allocated to impact investing, despite 92% participating in impact networks. This leaves $1.54T unused for impact, highlighting a persistent gap between intention and action. How much of this capital is quietly deployed — across cash, fixed income, or passive allocations — without advancing impact, and in some cases, enabling harm? Through a live walkthrough, Tal Pritzker shares her 13-year impact investing journey—publicly for the first time—and her work with Candide Group toward a fully activated, 100% impact portfolio. Participants leave with practical tools to align all capital with impact, without compromising rigor or return.
