Impact Investing: Survey of Missouri Nonprofits

Abstract: The Community Development department of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is interested in better understanding the current landscape and future potential for nonprofit organizations in Missouri to utilize impact investment—borrowed or invested funds that must be repaid—to advance their mission. In January 2017, the St. Louis Fed partnered with Nonprofit Missouri, the Gateway Center for Giving and the Network for Strong Communities to survey nonprofit leaders throughout the state to learn more about their interest in social entrepreneurial activities, their need for outside capital to finance such activities and their ability to receive impact investment capital. Over 130 nonprofit leaders responded to the survey, which was distributed to individuals associated with Nonprofit Missouri and Network for Strong Communities; those results are included in this report.
