Just Finance Webinar Series – Impact First Investing
Join us for a series of three webinars in which we will examine how the T25 criteria illuminate funds that not only are principles-based but also use evidence and lived experience to serve their communities. Each webinar will include moderators to animate a discussion about impact first investments in a thematic area as well as actions to take to move your thinking and portfolio forward. Please join us for this thoughtful, enjoyable series!
With our host Jen Astone, well-known moderators and outstanding T25 Fund Managers, we’ll explore such timely questions as:
- What is the link between impact first portfolios and diverse leadership?
- How do funds attract the right kind of capital?
- How do impact first investments address wealth inequality and climate change?
- And in the spirit of community – how can we advance the work as a network?
We will bring our expertise and experiences to the conversation to find answers to the questions that you are working on and share practical strategies that can be implemented in your portfolio.
There will be three 90 minute sessions; 60 minutes for presentations, followed by 30 minutes of group discussion where we will share our learnings, examples from the T25 Funds and discuss actionable approaches towards implementing the T25 criteria. Together, we can increase our collective investment into Just Finance.

March 19 @1 pm PT / 4 pm ET – BIPOC & Women-led Funds
