Eventide's 1% Initiative
Harnessing the positive power of business to lift people out of poverty with dignity
What is the Eventide 1% Initiative?
Eventide is committed to allocating a portion of our assets under management towards socially impactful investments focused on the most vulnerable populations—both in the U.S. and abroad.
Our goal is to invest approximately 1% of our AUM into this initiative.
To achieve this direct impact, we have formed creative partnerships with organizations closely aligned with our mission and values, including Hope Global Investments, Vision Fund International, and Calvert Impact Capital. These partnerships enable us to allocate our impact across 5 impact sectors.
