Lawson Foundation – Impact Investing: Program-Related Investments
Description:
Unlike grants, Impact investments are investments made in companies, organizations and funds with the intention to generate measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. These types of investments can be either Mission-Related Investments (MRIs) or Program-Related Investments (PRIs).
Program-Related Investments (PRI) are investments made in charities as well as for-profits and not-for-profits for the primary purpose of furthering the Foundation’s charitable purposes. Unlike grants, PRIs also aim to generate financial returns, with a tolerance for below-market returns.
