Hear from our Fellows at our first in-person Gathering!
Fifteen Invested Faith Fellows braved the snow and ice to meet in St. Louis, Missouri for a time of learning and connection. Thanks to Mitchel Randall and Good Faith Media for this clip capturing the highlights!
Invested Faith is imagining new ways of living into God's good future.
Invested Faith is a fund that receives the assets of institutions and individuals and offers small, unrestricted grants to faith-rooted social entrepreneurs building businesses that are changing unjust systems.
Faith-based organizations hold a compelling moral vision for the good that can be done in the world. At the same time, religious institutions hold a tremendous amount of capital. Religious institutions and industries in America represent $1.2 trillion a year in wealth, more than Apple, Amazon, and Google combined, according to a 2016 study published in the Interdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion.
Invested Faith grants go to faith-rooted individuals who are working to change unjust systems while building sustainable financial models.

Join us as we take courageous steps into the future.
We are focused on bridging social innovation with the resources of America’s religious institutions to invest in the well-being of our neighbors, to rebuild communities, and to do the work of the gospel in the world.
