BACKGROUND
The Ford Foundation’s Mission Investments team was established to invest the foundation’s capital to help solve some of the world’s greatest social problems and manages three pools of capital: a $1 billion mission related investment (MRI) fund from the endowment, the largest commitment of its kind, which seeks to achieve strong impact and financial returns
across five thematic strategies: affordable housing, diverse fund managers, financial inclusion, global health tech and quality jobs; a $350 million program related investment (PRI) fund designed to catalyze investments in markets and opportunities often overlooked by traditional investors; and a grant making initiative designed to build and strengthen the infrastructure of the impact investing market and promote a more inclusive system of capitalism. Underpinning all Mission Investments activity is the fundamental belief that diversity, equity and inclusion are necessary to achieve progress and innovation in business, society, the capital markets and capitalism itself.
