Intro to Just Transition Investing - Fundamentals Training - Spring 2025

Zoom

May 29, 2025 (1-4PM ET) - While the extractive economy increasingly inflicts harm on communities across the globe, most foundations continue their business-as-usual approach to investing the vast majority (the 95%) of their assets in financial markets that are fueling this violent economic system. The time is now to radically reimagine how foundations invest their assets, by redirecting capital away from extractive, profit-driven markets toward local, regenerative solidarity economies that are building economic power and self-determination in Black, Indigenous, People of Color and working-class communities, thereby decreasing their reliance on philanthropy over the long term. Building on the Resonance Framework, this training will introduce the principles and practices of Just Transition Investing by exploring how foundations can shift capital and power away from Wall Street and into community-controlled, movement-aligned Just Transition projects and solidarity economy institutions that are building the new world we all need. This intro-level training will serve as a foundational building block for our Just Transition Investing Academy (applications for 2026 open in the fall).

Intro to Just Transition Investing - General Registration

$250

May 29, 2025 (1-4PM ET) - A Just Transition requires divestment from the dominant financial system and redirecting that capital into community-controlled institutions and activities that build the self-determination of frontline BIPOC communities and decrease reliance on philanthropy over the long term. Building on the Resonance 2.0 Framework, this training will introduce the concept of Just Transition Investing by specifically exploring and playing with the core principles of the Just Transition Investment Framework. We will discuss emergent strategies philanthropic institutions can activate to create a fresh vision and direction that no longer maximizes foundation profits nor preserves institutional wealth, but instead shifts capital and power to build the economic power of our frontline communities. This intro-level training will serve as a foundational building block for an upcoming 2025 program dedicated to equipping foundation staff with tools, strategies, and knowledge applied in investing spaces to champion a Just Transition.
