The Endowments for Impact Challenge is a groundbreaking initiative designed to push the boundaries of how Australian trusts and foundations invest their assets.
Through a collective open tender competition, we’re challenging the nation’s investment advisors to lead the way by showing trusts and foundations how they can best align their investments with their values and use their corpus to build a better world.
Our goal? To reshape the future of charitable endowments by promoting gold-standard responsible investment advice tailored to the needs of the philanthropic sector.
The challenge will...
Showcase demand
Highlight the need for credible, responsible investment advice among Australian trusts and foundations.
Engage and evaluate
Help trusts and foundations to select and assess financial sector professionals who align with their mission and values.
Inspire innovation
Encourage ambitious, innovative and effective approaches to responsible investment within the philanthropic and financial sectors.
Foster collaboration
Promote better collaboration and transparency in the investment practices of trusts and foundations.
About responsible and impact investment
“Responsible investment, also known as sustainable or ethical investment, is a broad-based approach to investing which factors in people, society and the environment, along with financial performance, when making and managing investments.”
“Impact investments are investments made into organisations, projects or funds with the intention of generating measurable social and environmental outcomes, alongside a financial return. This may be providing finance for businesses in sectors as diverse as aged care, renewable energy and the arts.”
