VIP: High Impact Opportunities
(For MCF clients only)
MCF has partnered with ImpactAssets, a market leader in impact investing, to provide a variety of High Impact Fund options. All have been selected for the opportunity to provide positive social and environmental returns, as well as the potential of financial return back to your MCF fund, to preserve and grow your philanthropic capital.
High Impact Funds allow MCF donors to support an issue area they care about via a highly diversified fund offering. You can choose from a rotating selection of professionally-managed global funds. Those funds which are currently available are presented below.
Because of our partnership with ImpactAssets, MCF donors have access to these professionally managed funds at very low minimums. Investment minimums apply.
Please note that funds on the VIP platform have been selected and vetted by our partner ImpactAssets. MCF’s investment committee has not conducted additional due diligence on these funds.
