New name builds on firm's history and signals path forward
BETHESDA, Md., October 31, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Today, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation”) announced it has renamed to Calvert Impact Capital to better align with its current work and vision. The new name maintains a connection to the non-profit investment firm’s rich 22-year history while looking forward to its next phase of growth.
“We have begun a new chapter, with a name that better represents who we are and what we hope to achieve,” said President and CEO Jennifer Pryce. “In renaming, we hope to eliminate confusion that resulted from the term ‘Foundation’ in our prior name. This term created the misperception that we are focused on philanthropy rather than investments.”
For 22 years we've been building the infrastructure, networks, and relationships to move nearly $2 billion in private capital into communities in the U.S. and roughly 100 countries around the world. The same entrepreneurial spirit that guided our founding will continue to guide us as Calvert Impact Capital.

Pryce said, “For 22 years we’ve been building the infrastructure, networks, and relationships to move nearly $2 billion in private capital into communities in the U.S. and roughly 100 countries around the world. The same entrepreneurial spirit that guided our founding will continue to guide us as Calvert Impact Capital.”
