The Community Investing Toolkit for the Faith Community, recently released by the Social Investment Forum, was developed to address the growing demand from religious investors for a community investing resource focused on the faith community.  The guide grew out of a 2007 roundtable discussion of 25 representatives from various religious institutions.

Description
Market returns do not occur in a vacuum, but are the product of social and environmental trends that investors themselves help influence. Universal owner (UO) theory is emerging as a financial rationale for reducing negative market externalities (such as pollution and poverty) to ensure better long-term returns. The presenters will apply UO theory and engage the audience in dialogue on the relevance of these powerful ideas for the SRI community.
