Introducing our new Centre of Excellence: the subject of our Dec 03 FCI Forum
In April 2026, 33 faith-based asset owners and networks, which together manage $200 billion in AUM, called on FaithInvest to create a Centre of Excellence to provide tools and guidance on faith-consistent investing. We have spent the last few months building what they asked for.
Now we are ready to share what we've built. This December our FCI Quarterly Forum will introduce the new FCI Centre of Excellence, a single, authoritative, multi-faith home for faith-consistent investing.
Created as a standalone site but managed by FaithInvest, the Centre's key aims are to:
provide practical tools and guidance faith-based asset owners have asked for, such as best practice language and templates for our FCI Frameworkd, and
act as a one-stop shop for the latest news and developments in the wider FCI ecosystem. One of the comments we heard from participants at our April Paris gathering was: 'There's a lot going on but we often don't hear about it.' The FCI Centre aims to change that.
Join us on Thursday 3 December for a first look at the FCI Centre of Excellence and see how it can support your organisation. We’ll walk through its five interconnected areas of work:
Investment policy assessment – free, confidential IP&G assessments that give you a scored report across all ten Good Intentions 2026 criteria and a roadmap for improvement
Knowledge clearinghouse – an extensive library of FCI research, guides, webinars and case studies from across the ecosystem
Recognition and certification – a preview of the first formal recognition framework for FCI, with annual awards and certification from Foundation to Exemplary launching in 2027
Practical tools and templates – best practice examples, policy drafting templates and exemplary policy language for each of the ten criteria
Community and events – a cross-tradition practitioner network with peer learning, monthly updates and our quarterly FCI Forum
There will be time to ask questions and tell us what would be most useful to you as the Centre develops.
Who should attend: Trustees, finance directors, investment committee members and staff of faith-based organisations, along with faith leaders and others working to advance faith-consistent investing.
