During MCF’s fall 2021 Impact Investing Network meeting, members discussed aligning banking practices with organizational values. Aligning values could include choosing a bank based on the diversity of its ownership or leadership, on the geographic area where the bank focuses its investments, on the locations of the bank branches, or various other factors.
Gun Violence Prevention Resources
In September 2022, MCF hosted a conversation about philanthropy's role in reducing gun violence.
