Sustainable investments promoting the inclusion and development of underserved communities through community investing offer the most potential for real-world change where it is needed most.
How it works
Investing in global good
Praxis® commits a small portion of each fund to deep-impact, concessionary investments that bring direct benefits to low income and underserved communities here in the U.S. and around the world.
Meaningful partnership
We partner with various financial intermediaries such as Calvert Impact and Capital Impact Partners, that use innovate finance and collaborative approaches to achieve transformational community impact.
Community-focused
For more than 20 years we have channeled a portion of each fund into deep-impact, concessionary investments that bring direct benefits to vulnerable communities around the world.

Founding principles
Why community investing?
Since 1994, we have shaped our approach to impact by asking the question "What more can we do?" – and integrating new strategies as they emerge over time.
We are guided by our core values, seeking to hold in tension a responsibility for the productive use of financial resources and a deep-seated concern for the individuals, communities and environments impacted by our investment choices.
