Next Cohort: To Be Determined

The Table is a seven-week introductory investing course designed to build your skills and confidence in impact investing. Together with experienced investors, we'll learn to invest in direct deals and private funds, discuss deal sourcing, understand due diligence, unpack key investment terms, and explore tips and tricks to achieve lasting impact. It will be a collaborative space to ask questions and share insights along the way.

Throughout the course, we’ll hear five pitches from impact-first, faith driven companies and funds. To learn by doing, each participant will contribute a $10k grant into a shared capital pool. At the end of the course, we’ll vote where to invest those funds together.

Let’s gain the confidence to own our seats at the investing table—together.

  • The Investments

    Each participant will contribute $10,000 of charitable capital to a capital pool that we’ll invest together. (This contribution can be from a donor advised fund, private foundation, or personal check.) Any returns generated from these investments will not be returned to the individual Donor/Investor but will be recycled into future initiatives focused on supporting faith driven underrepresented founders. 

    Note: a spouse or adult child may join a participant at The Table without submitting a second $10k grant contribution.

With more than 175 Table investors and $1,160 M invested, here’s a sampling of The Table investment portfolio:

“This is exactly what I’d been looking for. When learning about impact investing, it’s easy to get stuck in the theory and philosophy and it’s much harder to find communities of practice to learn the actual process.”
— Table participant
“We, The Table investor cohort, thank all of you at Impact Foundation for giving us additional infrastructure, networks, and expertise to progress God’s heart for the marketplace…and helping to redeem the great game of business.”
— Table participant
“It took me from a perspective of only focusing on returns (what has created the wealth that I have personally to invest in God’s creation) to what is the greatest work that can be accomplished by the money invested.”
— Table participant

  • Of course we’ll be sad to miss your company, but we’ll be recording each session so you can watch on our your own time.

  • You can stay as involved, or not, as you’d like with the friends you make along the way, but there is no expectation beyond the initial seven weeks. The investments we make will be long term, one year or more. Impact Foundation will manage the investments and communicate future reports.

    You’ll also receive regular monthly invitations to our Investor Circle webinars the last Thursday of the month.

  • An Accredited Investor is an individual or business allowed to trade securities that may not be registered with financial authorities. To be accredited, you must satisfy at least one requirement regarding income, net worth, asset size, governance status, or professional experience. 

    One common way you can be accredited is by having a net worth over $1 million, excluding your primary residence. Another way is by generating an income over $200,000 (individually) or $300,000 (joint with spouse) for at least the past two years.
