"The sum of casual public contact at a local level is a feeling for the public identity of people, a web of public respect and trust, and a resource in time of personal or neighborhood need. The absence of this trust is a disaster to a city street."
-Jane Jacobs
The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961
Contact Fund Investing Approach
Invest where you live: This ‘place-based’ investing philosophy allows Contact Fund to concentrate capital in under-served neighborhoods throughout New York City.
Leverage a network of high-impact organizations: Established relationships and “on the ground” access to information in community development, finance, academia and progressive philanthropy provide investors with high-quality investment opportunities.
Provide a competitive financial return: Current investors receive a competitive return for a six-month or one-year term.
Bring the voice of the private investor to the table: Connect investors directly to the leaders and funders of high-impact NYC organizations.
Deliver maximum social impact: Provide loans strategically in the capital structure that often make the difference in closing a transaction-- and which can be leveraged by organizations in order to impact a large community of people in the neighborhoods that need it most.
