Democratize Investment, Strengthen Relationships

We provide field-building and education programs that advance fresh perspectives on trust-based investing, balance risk and return, and democratize ownership and decision-making.

We are building the impact investment field through fund manager training, communities of practice and products that transform how capital moves to advance racial equity.

“BII’s Integrated Capital Card Game is a fantastic learning tool! It’s a creative, effective way to find out about impact investing terms and learn which types of capital and transaction structures work best for different social enterprises. Our fellows love it because it’s interactive, fun and super practical.”

Executive Director, Just Economy Institute

“The way that BII introduced the Integrated Capital Cards workshop made the content so easy to access. Our entire team entered the interaction with trepidation, worried that we wouldn’t be able to understand the complexity or apply the content to our own work. Nothing could be further from the truth. We ended our session feeling empowered with new language and paradigms to integrate into our own approach to philanthropy.”

“BII’s Integrated Capital Card Deck is one of the most innovative and practical financial teaching tools I have ever seen. For too long, communities of color have not been given the opportunity, education, or the exposure to the types of financial structures and investment opportunities that can help scale the work that we do. The card deck gives us the language and provokes the kind of strategic thinking business and nonprofit leaders need to engage investors in creative ways to achieve our goals.”
