Calvert Foundation
Description edit
The Calvert Social Investment Foundation (Calvert Foundation) was established with a simple goal: to help end poverty through investment. It serves as a facility for individuals and institutions, seeking to place capital on softer terms to finance affordable homes, fund small and micro businesses and to make available essential community services. Calvert Foundation works to provide investment capital to local partner non-profits that use common sense and compassion to help people in disadvantaged communities to work themselves out of poverty.
Calvert Foundation's broader objective is to create "community investment" as a new asset class in the financial services industry. It employs a range of innovative financial instruments, web-based information services and philanthropic products including the Calvert Community Investment Note
, the Community Investment Profile Database , the Calvert Giving Fund, the Community Giftshare. Associated with the Calvert Group mutual fund company, Calvert Foundation is an independent 501(c) 3 non-profit dedicated to building homes, creating jobs and transforming lives.
