Being chosen as SOCAP’s first host city outside San Francisco underscores Chicago’s natural alignment with impact investing, equitable growth, philanthropy, and cross-sector innovation.

Where Are the Big Bets in Impact Investing? Early last year, just weeks after Inauguration Day, I sat in a room with several asset owners—family offices, endowments, and foundations—at an impact investing convening. The mood was, unsurprisingly...

"If impact investing is supposed to be a capital engine for solving society’s toughest problems, then why does it operate at a fraction of the scale of the challenges it claims to address?" Read more in this article by Rodney Foxworth, CEO & Co-Founder of Worthmore and a SOCAP Global Board Member.

Quote from Kate Williams reads: The biggest competitor to climate action and investment is paralysis. It’s not about perfect action, it’s about taking action.

Quote from Aina Abiodun reads: We need to shift from being talkers ... to being builders. We need to start putting pipes in the ground and start building, and not stop until we have put every piece of infrastructure in place that our communities need to be safe.

Quote from Diane Kolar Leach reads: It’s really important to have an ecosystem that’s working together and fosters conversations to meet the needs of providers and the businesses. … I think there’s a lot of room for partnerships across sectors to crowd capital into this impact asset class.

The time spent together at our annual conference positions our community to carry forward our shared mission long after the event. 🤝 As we enter a new year, we are revisiting key takeaways from #SOCAP25 that are inspiring us toward action.

Quote from Richard Tate reads: Collaboration isn’t just a strategy, it’s actually a responsibility. In mission-based work, one institution isn’t going to achieve our shared goals and impact … it is a shared responsibility we have across organizations.

Quote from Marie-Josée Parent reads: The challenges in our communities are enormous, but the willingness and determination for change is threefold that. There is so much opportunity to amplify and scale the grassroots work these communities are already doing. … Why now? Because we’re so late already.

Quote from Morgan Simon reads: We sometimes forget that our money is the vote that we take every day—everything that we buy, everything that we invest in. When we do that collectively and we do it loudly, we are able to shift culture and politics.

We're starting 2026 STRONG by revisiting actionable insights from #SOCAP25. 💪💡

Quote from Edgar Villanueva reads: We are not powerless. We are not without hope. This work is more than transactional. It is more than just numbers on a page. There is fundamentally a spiritual renewal and awakening. … We’re all in this together — your success is tied to my success.

Quote from Vanessa Roanhorse reads: The world has fundamentally shifted. We are out of time for being indecisive. … Let’s work harder, bridge those gaps, and let’s move those resources. This is the call to action: Build relationship, build kinship, walk away with what you need. Find a way through.

Quote from Jim Sorenson reads: This isn’t someone else’s responsibility — it is ours. Be bold, take risks, collaborate in ways that might feel uncomfortable but are absolutely necessary. Let’s look back at this time and say, ‘This is when words became action.’

These powerful insights from the #SOCAP25 Opening Ceremony are the energy we are bringing into the new year. 👏⚡️
