NorthLight Foundation strives to ensure our endowment is invested in 100% mission-aligned sectors.
Investments by the philanthropic sector — including those of NorthLight and its individual peers — can and do have a significant impact on the kinds of industries, companies, and values that succeed in the global economy. We made the decision to shift our endowment into sectors that align our investments with our mission.
With the guidance of a financial advisor, we continue to identify opportunities to leverage our investments in ways that not only avoid environmentally destructive and socially unjust industries, but also support environmentally sustainable and just alternatives. We developed investment policies to support these goals.
