SUMMARY:Integrating Community Voice into Investment Decision-Making
DESCRIPTION:When communities are excluded from the decisions that impact them and shape where capital flows, equity remains an aspirational principle rather than a lived practice. Across impact investing, social finance, philanthropy, and the broader social purpose sector, practitioners are increasingly asking: How do we move beyond intention to embed equity into decision-making in meaningful, consistent, and accountable ways? Join us for a practical conversation about how participatory approaches can strengthen governance, due diligence, and capital allocation; and how these practices drive stronger gender equality, social equity, and organizational outcomes. The session will leverage the Social Equity Lens Investing (SELI) Coding System, Canada’s national framework for social equity and gender lens investing developed by the Government of Canada through the Social Finance Fund. Participants will learn how the SELI framework can be used both as a taxonomy to classify social equity and gender lens investments, and as a practical roadmap for advancing equity outcomes progressively. This session is designed for practitioners across impact investing, philanthropy, social finance, foundations, community finance, and social purpose. Participants will leave with practical insights, examples, and considerations for integrating participatory and equity-centered approaches into investment, funding, and organizational decision-making.\n
