Seeking ways to maximize the social and economic returns of their place-based impact investments, foundations, CDFIs, private investors, and others are turning to collaboration. To support these efforts and facilitate lesson sharing, the Urban Institute and Mission Investors Exchange have produced a set of three practitioner briefs designed to focus on elements of place-based impact investing that research and conversations with practitioners have identified as opportunities for knowledge exchange. Each brief presents a concept, highlights practitioner examples, and elevates lessons from the field.

The briefs are:

• Mapping and Assessing Local Capacities and Opportunities for Place-Based Impact Investing
• Place-Based Impact Investing Ecosystems: Building a Collaboration to Boost Your Effectiveness
• Collaborative Place-Based Impact Investing Models: Deploying Capital on the Ground Together
