The Francesco Collaborative is excited to continue the work and programming of the Catholic Impact Investing Collaborative (CIIC, pronounced “seek”), after joining forces in 2024. The Catholic Impact Investing Collaborative was established in November 2014 by a visionary group of Catholic leaders in finance–including co-founders John O’Shaugnessy and Jake Barnett– as a space for people to come together, share a meal and stories, and build relationships based on their spiritual as well as financial commitment to Impact Investing. CIIC was started in the U.S. Midwest, soon grew to the Northeast and other areas in the U.S., and continues to expand. CIIC is a perfect partner for the Francesco Collaborative, as they offer opportunities for tangible and practical faith-first investing through initiatives like pitch sessions and their innovative deal-sharing platform.
We invite you to visit the CIIC website to learn more about upcoming opportunities.
“The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change.”
