At RevHub’s recent Women in Impact Investing event, Lauren Grattan, co-founder and chief community officer at Mission Driven Finance, shared compelling insights into innovative financing strategies that are reshaping the landscape of impact investing. Grattan emphasized the importance of democratizing access to capital and tools, drawing parallels between emerging markets and underserved communities in the United States. She highlighted the growing momentum behind “green bonds” and the creation of a specialized Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) focused on expanding access to quality childcare—a crucial facet of feminist economics.
Grattan also underscored the significant role of federal funding, amounting to $4.7 trillion, earmarked to stimulate market incentives and attract private investors. This initiative aims to unlock resources for entrepreneurs, fostering economic empowerment through strategic capital deployment.
