Communities Are Deeply Suffering
The cards are stacked against many communities. The combination of racism, climate change, and low wages has left many under-resourced communities fighting to recover and ultimately thrive. The wealth gap continues to widen while devastating weather events continue to increase leaving those at the bottom unable to fulfill their basic needs. The problems are more than one organization can solve.

Our Love Letters
“Watching Stephanie map an overview of the diverse strategies and creative possibilities for moving money towards positive impact, was by far the best, most action-packed, cogent, eye-opening presentation and overview of the field that I have ever experienced. Talk to Stephanie. Book her to speak to your group. Encourage her to write a book, do video training, or clone herself. You will be doing a great service for the world. Her presentation of the comprehensive strategies available to influence and leverage capital for the betterment of communities and issues will give rich dividends. Put on your seatbelt!”

“It’s super rare to get world-class portfolio advice from someone who doesn’t have their hand in your pocket. It’s rarer to get a whole new framework for thinking about donations and philanthropic work. Rarest of all is a combination of clear next steps and the challenge to take action. Stephanie Gripne of the Impact Finance Center delivers a trifecta.”

“I have attended a lot of academic talks and yours has, in a sense, been one of the most transformative for me. I never envisioned looking at investments in the way that you explained so clearly, and I am looking at my future proposals in a different light.”
