We are delighted to announce that Take Action! is going national! Due to the resounding success of our last event and the conference series, a number of our past participants invited us to Boston to further catalyze investors on the East Coast.
It is our first East Coast event and our fourth consecutive year of events focusing exclusively on investments that generate premium- or market-rate investments while creating social and environmental value.
What is Take Action!?
Join industry leaders and trustees, CFOs and investment staff of foundations, family offices, pension funds and corporations for intimate and proactive peer conversations. Leading practitioners and global financial experts share their candid experiences, and engage in pointed conversations about the unresolved and debated issues and potential evolution of impact investing.

What are people saying about Take Action!?
Charly Kleissner
Co-Founder, KL Felicitas Foundation
"The main objective for me at the Take Action! Summit is to make new connections to people that I otherwise would not meet, be inspired by what they do, and share what I am doing. I have been able to accomplish all of those."
Richard Woo
CEO, The Russell Family Foundation
"I’m taking a lot of excitement from the people I’ve met here and the stories I’ve heard about new ways of thinking and deals that are on the horizon and that’s really energizing."
Herta von Stiegel
Executive Chairman, Ariya Capital
"What I have seen here is 150 people who have an incredible sphere of influence. I met so many wonderful people here with whom I plan to connect after the conference."
Bob Pattillo
Founder, Gray Ghost Ventures
"There’s such a strong community here of like minded folks and it’s almost like coming out to get a fix. The spirit is strong."
Stephen DeBerry
CIO, Kapor Enterprises, Inc.
"I am taking away a much broader network of relevant investors which has been particularly valuable for me because the space has been expanding but it’s not always easy to find investment partners or thought partners who have the same broad set of interests and certainly harder to find the specific strategically aligned partners."
