This is not your typical conference.

It’s a gathering for those who steward capital and shape investment decisions—and who want to do so with greater confidence and courage.

We held our first CST & Investing Summit September 25th – 26th, 2024 in Chicago, IL at Loyola University Chicago. Find a recap of the 2024 Summit here.

Why this Summit?

Faith-based investing often gets reduced to screens and scorecards—SRI, ESG, “divest or engage.” These tools matter, but they’re not enough. This Summit is about what comes next: deploying capital into the real economy, grounded in mission, relationship, and Catholic Social Teaching.

Together, we’ll ask:

• How do we actively deploy capital into funds, enterprises, and ecosystems that embody Catholic Social Teaching?
• What kinds of financial structures promote human and ecological flourishing?
• What will it take to move from isolated efforts to a shared movement?
• How can we move capital beyond screens and policies into bold, coordinated action?

What to Expect

This is a participatory gathering, not a lecture hall. You’ll spend time in curated small groups, join strategy sessions with peers, and engage in co-creation around key challenges—like sourcing, due diligence, shareholder action, and capital deployment into the Global South.

You’ll leave with:

• Real relationships with other investors walking a similar path
• Clarity on where your capital can make the greatest difference
• A deeper sense of purpose and spiritual grounding in your work
  

Who Should Attend?

• Purpose-driven investors and asset allocators
• Family office leaders and foundation stewards
• Investment committee members and fiduciaries
• RIAs and consultants serving purpose-driven institutions
• Livable Future Alumni ready to go deeper

If you’re a fund manager, entrepreneur raising capital, nonprofit leader or similar, we invite you to fill out this interest form and we’ll follow up with next steps, as these spots are limited.

Let’s build something deeper.

We believe this moment calls for bold action and deeper connection—rooted in faith, informed by tradition, and oriented toward a new economy of justice and care.
