VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for pre-concert “Buzz-Making”
Saturday, June 19th from 4:30pm to 7pm
Sunday, June 20th from 3:30pm to 6pm
TO SIGN UP, click here and fill in form.
The goal of the event is simply to get people talking about the value nonprofits have to the Greater New Haven community.
Volunteers, or “Buzz Agents,” will mingle among the picnicking crowd wearing “I Love Greater New Haven Nonprofit” T-shirts, giving out stickers, Impact Fact Cards about over 60 local org’s, and Crossword Puzzles that challenge people to discover the names of the organizations. We will encourage people to pass cards from group to group, and drop conversation starters that encourage people to talk amongst themselves about the value of nonprofits to themselves and their community.
We will meet for an initial Buzz Agent training, and then spread out over the Green. Bring your ideas for how to get people talking!
We would like representatives from each of the organizations that are participating (this email is going to each of the contact people from this and last year’s Impact Fact Card entries), as well as anyone else interested, so spread the word!

--Campaign Goal: To promote the understanding of nonprofits as social innovators who add cultural, educational, social and economic value to the community.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
