Green your banking
April 27, 2008
Did you know that where your checking account is held can make a difference in how sustainable your community is?
The Social Investment Forum Foundation and Co-op America have launched a campaign to encourage people and institutions to put their banking and investment dollars to work in local communities.
The goal of the 1% or More in Community Campaign is to help grow the community investing industry to more than $25 billion in assets in 2007. This would build off of the success of the Campaign in helping almost quadruple the amount of money involved in community investing between 2000 and 2005, when the industry grew from $5.4 billion in 2000 to $20 billion in 2006. SIF members have made their mark in the community investing industry, they increased their investments in Community Investing Institutions by $1.2 billion (from $800 million in 2002 to $2 billion in 2006).
