Moving Community Bonds Forward is a landmark report mapping the Canadian community finance ecosystem — and calling for changes so that more community organizations can access the capital they need and more investors can put their money where their values are.
In our envisioned future:
- Investors look to community organizations for investment opportunities alongside the more (for now) mainstream options.
- Community organizations have the support they need to get investment-ready and develop revenue models that work for them.
- And ultimately, communities thrive — they gain access to more affordable housing, arts and culture, renewable energy, and more, and community wealth is built by the returns on investments.
