America is #1 in military spending. Our DoD spends more than the next seven world powers combined. This year, their budget is more than $700 billion dollars.
There is money for free public college, more COVID-19 stimulus, and better community resources.

These nurses successfully petitioned @JoeBiden to add a nurse to his COVID task force.
Their victory is a victory for all nurses serving on the frontlines of this pandemic.

Funders have been increasingly coordinating the use of different forms of financial capital & non-financial resources, or integrated capital, as a means to solving complex problems. Learn more about the potential of this strategy with @AssetFunders on 9/9: bit.ly/3biwe3Z

As we head into the weekend, tens of thousands of us in #santacruzcounty continue to be displaced by the #czulightningcomplex. Figuring out how to access resources can be stressful and confusing. We've put together this resource page and hope it helps. cfscc.org/fire-resources

“Impact investing has appeal across the political spectrum... Government + investors need each other to get to the scale we need.” @franseegull on the Tipping Point Fund #ImpInv policy agenda. impactalpha.com/preparing-an… #impinv @_BlueHaven @OmidyarNetwork @FordFoundation @macfound

Good advice for investing in #racialjustice - And hold investment advisers (gatekeepers) accountable for regularly demonstrating an inclusive, unbiased process for sourcing, vetting and recommending diverse asset managers. Few can do this today or are willing to report on it.

Like #MayorPete said - #1FairWage needs volunteers! Will you help us support tipped and service workers? Sign up at ofwemergencyfund.org/volunte…
Many of us are eager to take action and make a difference but not used to volunteering from home. @OneFairWage is building a volunteer army to help the millions of workers applying for assistance. Learn more or sign up here: ofwemergencyfund.org/volunte…

Here’s a map I made of @SBAgov 7(a) lenders. #COVID19 #PaycheckProtectionProgram
The “FA$TRK (Small Loan Express)" lenders tend to be smaller banks & credit unions.
The “Community Advantage Initiative” lenders are mission-first, mostly nonprofits.

The best way Congress can support #SmallBusinesses during the #COVID19 pandemic is by supporting @CDFIFund.
Each $1 invested in the #CDFI Fund leverages $12 for #SmallBiz in underserved communities in all 50 states, DC & PR. @OpportunityFund thehill.com/blogs/congress-b…

It’s very well suited but so seldom takes this on. Time for philanthropy to level up on this front. Let’s be disruptive and shake things up!!

A group of colleagues and peers from @theNEXUSsummit have been compiling resources and models for #COVID19. Started w/ philanthropy, #impinv sections need to be built out, but sharing here for all to see, use, and contribute to. #COVID19impinv docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Whatever you do, try to avoid reinvention of wheels. CDFIs, SBA micro- lenders, naturally in crisis mode, exist solely to build & maintain trusted relationships w/ businesses serving and employing vulnerable communities. I'm talking bodegas, street vendors, etc. #COVID19impinv

To support restaurants, @RWCFNYC established a Crisis Relief Fund to: 1) direct $ to on-the-ground efforts; 2) provide zero-interest loans to businesses to maintain payroll during closure or re-open once this crisis has passed; 3) support individual workers #COVID19impinv

Yes! Have attainable loan requirements to encourage up-to-date reporting. Portfolio companies might blow it off if it’s not easy for them. Remove reporting barriers, track health & spot issues/red flags earlier. #COVID19impinv #mediumterm #longterm

#CDFIs are boots on the ground, in touch with millions of businesses that make up the backbone of our economy. We're working with borrowers case-by-case on loan modifications, financial coaching or just the right amount of working capital. #COVID19impinv #Impinv #solutions

This! So. Much. This. Connecting with #community is not a checklist item.
Absolutely need to put in the hard work connecting with community champions. Can't be a one and done with one group. Gotta keep on doing it with multiple groups with different POVs. #COVID19impinv #impinv #communityresilience

1. Practice patient capital
2. Amend credit policies to allow for flexibility
3. Shore up investees that are short on cash to help them keep doors open
4. Provide grants & T/A for smaller partners. Build up capabilities for partners to weather volatility.

Very small businesses, especially minority-owned & immigrant-owned, are the most at risk in this crisis.
Let’s direct investments to the communities most at risk.
What about an #impinv fund for immigrant entrepreneurs who might not qualify for Federal relief? #COVID19impinv
