ABOUT

 

The Impact Capital Managers mission is to accelerate the performance of our members and to scale the private capital impact investing marketplace with integrity and authenticity. We do this through our membership association, which today includes 140+ funds representing more than $70B in impact-focused capital deployed across 4,000+ companies globally; and through field-building research, education, and training initiatives in collaboration with the affiliated ICM Institute. The ICM network of peers is engaged and collaborative by nature. General Partners join our community to find resources and to be a resource to others in equal measure. As part of our commitment to grow the marketplace with integrity, members must meet certain criteria including a demonstrated commitment to managing and measuring impact. Membership is selective. We welcome serious inquiries from prospective members.

The Impact Capital Managers association:

  • Connects and convenes our members to one another, to investment opportunities, and to stakeholders in the broader ecosystem

  • Identifies and shares best practice in areas directly relevant to performance, such as impact management

  • Advocates for members through policy initiatives & conducts research and education for the field, in partnership with the ICM Institute

  • Cultivates a skilled, diverse impact investor workforce through talent and professional development programs and partnerships, in partnership with the ICM Institute

As an organization we strive to apply our operating principles - Rigor and Excellence, Candor and Curiosity, and Diversity and Inclusion - to all aspects of our work.

Who are the Impact Capital Managers?

  • Are General Partners of funds with multiple investors, investing in private companies (or via debt, real estate, or project finance)

  • Have assets under management of $25M or more

  • Make an explicit commitment to positive impact through investments

  • Measure and manage impact, or have a credible plan to do so; Impact Capital Managers may provide guidance

Occasionally, ICM will open membership seats to Single LPs (e.g. family offices or corporate venture funds) or funds not yet at $25M AUM who otherwise meet our criteria. Please email Executive Director Marieke Spence to learn more: mspence@impactcapitalmanagers.com.
