How to Start Impact Investing with Beth Bafford

Money + Meaning

“It is a privilege to have any investable assets for savings or retirement but if you do, in any amount, you have power. You have the power to invest in companies, in funds, in a financial system and an economy that supports your values. You don’t need to have 6 or 7 figures. Anybody can do it and can do it today.”

- Beth Bafford, VP of Syndications and Strategy at Calvert Impact Capital
