Place-based Impact Investing
In 2018, Coastal Community Foundation launched its Place-Based Impact Investing initiative with an initial $3 million investment from the IMPACT Endowment. With this capital, CCF is actively investing in businesses and nonprofit programs that will achieve both a measurable financial return as well as a positive, social impact.
This is one of the key tools CCF will use to target the region’s core issues identified in the Civic Engagement Agenda, particularly affordable places & inclusive spaces, access to economic opportunity and education. So far, our investees are working on addressing needs such as health insurance enrollment and providing more economic opportunities for minority-owned businesses.

Applying for a Place-Based Impact Investment (PBII)
PBII investments are open to for-profit and nonprofit organizations. It is important to note that this program, unlike our grantmaking programs, are designed to fund projects that provide a financial return and a social impact return.
Investments may be made in three categories:
- Equity
- Loan
- Loan Guarantee
Schedule and Process
CCF does not have a fixed schedule for applications for PBII funding. However, you can join our email list to be notified when our next funding window is available.
