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
-
Publishing RESEARCH, CASE STUDIES and GUIDES to help faith groups deliver on faith-consistent investing

'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'
– Dr Lorna Gold, FaithInvest CEO
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 is leading a project to develop training on faith-consistent investing. Our first course began on February 28; aimed at faith groups, it is be the first course that is suitable for all faith traditions rather than specifically aimed at members of a particular religion. The second course begins on May 7.
We are also in conversation with a number of other groups to develop courses tailored for their particular communities.
