CIIC + Francesco Collaborative

We are delighted to share the news that the Catholic Impact Investing Collaborative (CIIC) will transition to being powered by the leadership of the Francesco Collaborative (FC).

The Francesco Collaborative is a partner and guide for faith-based investors seeking to reimagine an investment practice anchored in Catholic Social Teaching. Inspired by Pope Francis’ Economy of Francesco movement, the Francesco Collaborative launched the Livable Future Investing Workshop for Catholic investors and close partners to explore practices of “faith-first investing” that nurture an economy rooted in solidarity. Today, the Francesco Collaborative supports a community of 150 workshop alumni and facilitates collaborations to grow Catholic impact investing.

We are excited to invite you to be part of the next chapter with us. The FC team will continue key CIIC programming, such as pitch sessions and community forums, and is excited to start organizing regional gatherings similar to the “CIIC Dinners” beginning in 2024. Our hope is that, by joining our two groups together, we will have an even more meaningful role to play in the Catholic Investor community – and that we will help to catalyze a response to the many crises of our moment, laid out powerfully in Laudato Si.
