Invest for Better, a national nonprofit dedicated to bringing more women into impact investing, has recently launched in Philadelphia, writes Helen Horstmann-Allen for Technical.ly.

Philadelphia has become one of the first regional hubs for the nonprofit, thanks to a grant from the Nasdaq Foundation and support from ImpactPHL.

Horstmann-Allen, one of the founding organizers of Invest for Better Philadelphia, said the decision to establish regional hubs was inspired by the energy and enthusiasm that emerged in Philadelphia in just a few short months.

Invest for Better Philadelphia fosters knowledge through conversation and community, offering women a supportive space to discuss, learn, and share their financial stories, concerns, and successes.

The network brings together women in circles of 10 to 30, spanning diverse ages, backgrounds, and experiences. This allows them to learn from each other’s choices and realize they’re not alone in facing similar challenges.

The women in these circles cover all stages of investing — from those fresh out of school and focused on managing student loans and debt, to others who have quietly built up retirement savings without much strategy, to experienced angel investors as well as professional wealth managers.
