MCG’s job is to unlock the potential in under-served communities across the country – to find social entrepreneurs, inventors, great ideas, and organizations that have not been given the chance or opportunity. MCG aims to find these vanguards and offer them the chance to genuinely invest in their community or their venture.
How do we aim to do this? Invest in them first.
How?
We’re currently early stages of creating the strategy for a new social investment fund, investigating two primary approaches: traditional micro-investing, and new investment approaches that further monetize projects by bringing their true beneficiaries to the table
We are looking at a full range of potential beneficiaries of our projects, like:
- insurers (reduced risk)
- corporations (carbon and tax credits)
- state and national government (reduced social costs)
- and angel investors as well
In combination with microfinance strategies, these nontraditional models for monetizing projects would further enable MCG to capture intangible benefits in an investment fund.
We’re working on projects that are designed to generate investment-grade returns, and from there we will develop of an innovative investment product and delivery strategy, ready for the marketplace.
If you’d like to hear more about this venture, please contact us.
