• Contact Fund actively tracks more than 80 prominent New York City based community development organizations with $2.7B in assets
• Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) control 82% of these assets
• CDFIs borrow more than other community development organizations and currently are strained in finding new capital due to the tightening of credit
• There are significant investment opportunities in the affordable housing, microfinance, and social service sectors where organizations have high quality assets and low leverage ratios but are still being turned away by conventional finance institutions
• Contact Fund serves these institutions through direct lending and partnering with larger CDFIs to co-invest

• Socially Responsible Investing marketplace is estimated to be $2.7 trillion out of a $25.1 trillion investing market place in the US
• Social Investors engage in a “blended value” proposition where the desire to do good can also be a means to doing well financially
• Social Investing has evolved from “negative screening” and avoiding particular investments to actively placing capital in companies and funds that advance a social and environmental good, known as Impact Investing
• Impact Investing is estimated to grow to $500B or 1% of total managed assets in the US over the next decade
• One of the most visible examples of Impact Investing is Community Investing which is a $26B market that has grown 540% over the last decade
• One measure of the potential of individuals to engage in Community Investing is their level of charitable giving. Of the $300B of philanthropic giving in the US more than 80% is provided by individuals
