Community Investing At the 2008 Convocation, the membership passed unanimously a resolution in support of community investing. We urged our board of directors, our churches and our membership to practice “community investing” as a form of Christian discipleship by depositing or investing savings into financial institutions that focus on serving those on the margin, herein the US and abroad. Specifically, we recommended that a minimum of 10% of discretionary capital (savings, endowments, emergency funds, etc) be placed in community investments.
At a workshop on Community Investing, Ken Sehested shared a list of options for investing in communities. Download Ken's list.

If your church or other organization that you are affiliated with, pursues a community investing effort, please let us know.
