FaithInvest helps religious groups to invest in line with their values. We support the rapidly growing movement of faiths and faith-based asset owners actively using their investments to create a better world – for people and planet.
FaithInvest is an international, not-for-profit network serving religious groups and faith-based institutional investors. We support faith organisations seeking to invest in line with their values to achieve environmental and social impact.
The world's faiths have billions of dollars invested in global markets, across all asset classes. We empower religious asset owners to align their investments with their faith values, for the benefit of people and planet.
We do this by:
Convening a vibrant NETWORK for faith-based investors
Providing insightful TRAINING, education, exchange and collaboration
Offering tailored, one-on-one ACCOMPANIMENT on the faith-consistent investing journey.
Promotes faith-consistent, values-driven investing and investment transparency
Empowers faiths to align their investments with their values
Builds skills and capacity
Serves as a bridge to faith-aligned and values-driven investing
What we don't do:
We don’t get involved in decisions about how or where a faith group invests its money
We don't provide investment advice or make investment decisions for faith-based asset owners
We are not here to compete with, or take the place of, your existing investment advisors.
Instead, we seek to EMPOWER you to ensure your investment policies are fully ALIGNED with your faith values so that you can be certain that your money is working the way you want it to work in the world.

We exist to grow the scale and impact of faith-consistent investing (FCI) worldwide for the benefit of people and planet. We believe faith groups should be a powerhouse for ethical investing. Our vision is of a world in which faith groups invest positively in line with their values, motivated by their passionate conviction that doing so will achieve a just and sustainable world.
We provide a range of free-to-access services such as complimentary assessments of faith-based organisations' investment policies, a network of like-minded investors, and resources and guides on FCI. We also offer fee-based services such as training courses, one-on-one consultative support and more.
Faith-consistent investing (FCI) is about ensuring your investments reflect your faith values. It is about avoiding harm by not investing in areas where you have concerns, and it is also about seeking to achieve positive impact by investing in a way that reflects your organisation's beliefs, values and principles. Find out more about faith-consistent investing.
Our question to faith groups is: 'You're doing great things with what you get from the returns on your investments. But where you are putting your funds? The inexorable logic is that your values should affect everything you do – including where you invest your money in the first place.
