'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.'

FOR PEOPLE
AND PLANET
OUR KEY EVENTS
FaithInvest seeks to build a broad-based, well-coordinated faith-consistent investing (FCI) movement. To that end, we run regular events and convenings bringing together the FCI ecosystem, from faith groups and faith-based networks, to philanthropies and finance industry representatives.
GROWING THE
FCI ECOSYSTEM
We hold flagship events bringing the wider faith-consistent investing ecosystem together, such as our two-day Bold Plans conference, pictured left, or our gathering in Wicklow, Ireland, (pictured right) for Catholic religious brothers and sisters to discuss faith-based investing, part of which was live-streamed to 4,300 people globally.
We also convene quarterly meetings online for our FCI Interest Group. These offer an opportunity for faith-based asset owners to discuss the challenges and opportunities for values-aligned investing.
'I've been really struck by how much further forward we are in the movement to mobilise the wealth that the faiths have. The message we're hearing is that this is possible, we can create a future where everyone and everything thrive And that, for me, has been one of the most empowering, reassuring and uplifting energies of the last two days.'
