We believe McKnight’s four-point framework can help any investor contribute to a resilient economy.
这是一个实用的框架，可以根据财务和人力资源的规模扩大或缩小，它可以帮助有经验的影响投资者展示他们整个捐赠的力量。
我们的方法围绕四个杠杆点组织：
资产所有者
We are an owner of assets deploying billions of dollars into public and private markets.
金融服务客户
We are a consumer of financial services that can promote integrated thinking on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues among the asset managers we hire.
公司股东
We are a shareholder of corporations that votes company proxies and raises questions about practices, strategy, and risk management.
市场参与者
We are an institutional investor that works with others to source deals, create better market conditions, and share our experiences.
重点战略
我们的影响力投资必须与我们两个优先资助领域的目标密切配合： 中西部气候与能源 和 充满活力和公平的社区. 对于 我们的 气候 work, we are committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our endowment by 2050 at the latest. Read more about our net zero commitment.
内部监督
Guided by our impact investing policy, investment decisions are made by the Investment Committee of the board of directors. This committee makes the final decision on all investment ideas.
伙伴
Cambridge Associates is our primary service provider, advising the Foundation on the endowment. We also work with other foundations and institutional investors informally and through more formal collaborations.
“当我们投资时，我们拥有巨大的力量来创造改变。随着资金流向气候友好型投资并远离重排放国，我们将加速向低碳经济转型。”
