Investing for Community Impact
To fully align financial assets with our mission, YouthBridge Community Foundation of Greater St. Louis invests in the community with the intention to generate measurable social impact alongside a financial return.
Impact Investing Initiative
Since launching impact investing, YouthBridge has sought a financial return that provides traditional income on the capital invested along with a positive social outcome for the community.
Over the last three years, YouthBridge has increased local investments with the goal of helping improve the lives of children and families through the use of our capital including assets from Donor-Advised Funds.
We currently invest in the following organizations:
IFF
IFF provides loans, consulting, and development support to mission-driven nonprofits to help communities thrive. YouthBridge is providing a $300,000 loan.
Justine Petersen
Justine Petersen connects institutional resources with the needs of low-to moderate-income individuals and families, helping them to build assets and create enduring change. YouthBridge has combined loan investments of $550,000.
