Hi Everyone-

it’s been another whirlwind week here at the Force for Good Accelerator / Fund team. Here are some exciting updates for you:

  • We successfully met our $100k matching challenge. Kat Taylor (Beneficial State Bank), Derek Hydon (MaCher), and Merlin Clarke (Dogeared) challenged us to raise $100k by last Friday. Again, thanks to our supporters, we met that goal and then some.
  • MaCher has put up ANOTHER $25k in matching funds. To keep the momentum rolling, the amazing folks at MaCher have put up ANOTHER $25k in matching funds for anyone who invests between now and November 7. Incredible.
  • We’ve got some really cool investors. Our investors include some of the most socially and environmentally conscious women on the planet, including (to only name a few):
    • Leslie Christian, former President & CEO of Portfolio 21
    • Kristin Hull, President & Co-Founder of Nia Global Solutions
    • Jodie Evans, Co-Founder of CODEPINK
    • Nikishka Iyengar, Founder of The Guild
    • Marian Moore, Senior Advisor at RSF Social Finance
    • Julia Sze, Managing Director of Impact Investing at Arabella Advisors
    • Justina Lai, Director of Impact Investing at Wetherby Asset Management
    • Trish Rogers, Chair of the Business Section at Moye White LLP

Request for Support: Here are two things we would like to request from you:

  • 1. Do you know anyone who would be willing to add to our new matching challenge? We would love to be able to offer $50k-$100k in matching funds. These campaigns really work to drive investment.
  • 2. Will you share the Force for Good Fund via social media and with your friends and colleagues? Here are two sample tweets you could use:
