FaithInvest
FaithInvest is an international, not-for-profit network of religious groups and faith-based institutional investors. We serve faith organisations seeking to invest in line with their values to achieve environmental and social impact to create a better world.
What we do
FaithInvest was founded in 2019 following the Faith in Finance meeting in Zug, Switzerland, in 2017, after participants unanimously decided that a new organisation was needed to accelerate faith-consistent investing. Our mission is to empower religious asset owners to align their investments with their faith values, for the benefit of people and planet.
We do this by:
-
Convening a vibrant NETWORK for faith-based investors
-
Holding inspiring EVENTS & GATHERINGS to share experiences, ideas and opportunities
-
Providing insightful TRAINING, education, exchange and collaboration
-
Offering tailored, one-on-one ACCOMPANIMENT on the faith-consistent investing journey through a range of free-to-access and paid-for services

'We believe faiths can be creative engines of profound change for a sustainable world when they align their investments to their deep beliefs, values and teachings'

FaithInvest in the FCI Collaboratorium
The need for education and training of faith groups and faith leaders in values-driven investing was one of the three key areas identified by the FCI Collaboratorium.
To that end, FaithInvest led a project to develop training on faith-consistent investing. The first course began in February 2024. Aimed at faith groups, it was the first course suitable for all faith traditions rather than specifically aimed at members of a particular religion. The course was so successful that it ran again twice in 2024. It continues to run in 2025.
FaithInvest is also in conversation with a number of other groups to develop courses tailored for their particular communities.
