   Sustainable Change Alliance

   Oct 2018 — Present · Santa Barbara, CA, US

   The Sustainable Change Alliance was formed in 2015 by a team of professionals bringing together their financial, educational, leadership, and fund development skills to promote impact investing opportunities in financially successful ventures having positive and sustainable impact locally, nationally and globally. We see impact as the conscious use of capitalism to create positive social and environmental change and is currently benefiting hundreds of millions of people world-wide while providing competitive returns on investments. We are becoming a leading resource for community-based impact investing by partnering with local members of the community to expand their knowledge and provide opportunities throughout the greater Santa Barbara area and beyond, and show how philanthropy and investment can work together in creating sustainable social change. Our goal is to create a replicable model that innovative communities across the nation and around the world can employ in addressing their own social and environmental issues. We believe Santa Barbara\'s unique environment of socially-focused entrepreneurial efforts, significant pools of foundation and philanthropic individual capital, supportive government and non-profit communities, and an involved public can lead to Santa Barbara becoming a nationwide model of successful local impact investing. Our hope is that we can create, over time, a real community of this investor group, where people feel a sense of trust, where they can share their own values and motivations which lie behind their desire to do good, where they can become highly skilled and successful at impact investing to move the world toward sustainability, and where we can have fun.
