BII Integrated Capital Fund-Building Cohorts
BII provides education and training for fund managers, investors and philanthropists that advances fresh perspectives on trust-based investing, balancing risk and return, and democratizing ownership and decision-making. BII has a robust program curriculum to help diverse, emerging fund managers design and launch impact investment funds. Main topics include integrated capital, stakeholder development, investment criteria, governance structures, fund design and modeling, impact measurement and management, and raising capital.
From April 2020 to October 2021, BII ran its inaugural Integrated Capital Fund-Building Cohort, an 18-month program that engaged 33 existing and prospective fund managers in developing the financial rigor and skills to structure, raise and manage a blended capital fund. From August to November 2022, BII ran a four-month Mini Cohort to support four additional emerging community-based impact funds. Our Spring 2023 program starts May 2; learn more here.
