About Us
read moreWe believe that to help build a more socially, racially and economically just society, we need to go beyond our grantmaking. Grantmaking utilizes just five percent of our financial assets. The other 95% is invested, so we have committed to better aligning our investment portfolio with our mission. Currently the Fels Fund has invested 60% of its assets in a combination of mission-aligned and socially responsible funds. By 2025, the Fels Fund aims to have 100% of its assets aligned with its mission and/or invested in socially responsible funds.
