Our Impact Investing Model

Community driven projects that promote sustainability and focus on lasting impacts can create widespread, generational change. Like an ancient tree that grew from a tiny sapling, projects which use an Impact Investing model reach far deeper into the ground of the community than one can anticipate.

Below is a basic breakdown of the process:

Impact Investing Project Cycle

Catholic Mission works closely with each partner with great emphasis placed on overall project sustainability and generating a reliable income through social enterprises. These projects are rooted in a future-focused, generational impact mindset, resulting in a drive for creating lasting change in the community.

Uniquely, this model involves excess income being redistributed to other Impact Investing projects which seek similar goals. The partner eventually becomes self-sustaininable on income generated by its chosen social enterprises. Once this is acheived, excess income can be distributed to other projects in the community, the fruits of a well-established and blooming community project. This participatory process allows for greater engagement and personal agency within the community.

Please see an example of Catholic Mission’s Impact Investing Model in practice on the page 17 in a project in partnship with the Lideta Catholic Cathedral School, in Ethiopia.
