We believe we can significantly increase our ability to achieve our mission by investing our financial assets directly in support of our goals. We are aligning our investment portfolio to support organizations, companies, and funds that share our values related to the environment, economic livelihoods, and the arts. Harnessing the power of our endowment to build affordable housing and community real estate, support microlending for job training and licensing, and develop clean energy and sustainable food companies, are examples of how we are putting capital to work for purpose beyond financial return. We actively partner with philanthropic peers to leverage our investments and to work and learn together in an effort to grow a more informed, engaged, and effective impact investing community in Canada.
