Canopy

Canopy Canopy is a collaborative that is strengthening communities by identifying opportunities for investors to put capital to work locally in innovative ways.

Collaboration and Cooperation – A diverse set of stakeholders including non-profit institutions, companies and individuals are collaborating to create a new transparent model of investing capital to advance regional outcomes and deliver financial returns. Instead of focusing on their own disparate missions, members are pooling resources and sharing in the costs of sophisticated institutional resea

rch to identify regional opportunities and to educate and train the next generation of fund managers and entrepreneurs. Strengthening Communities – Canopy is bridging the gap between communities and investors, who want to better understand local needs, and add value to communities through a coordinated market-based approach. Canopy is changing the conversation about how institutions and individuals put their capital to work, and giving a voice to communities who have solutions and need capital. Unlocking Capital – Canopy is breaking down barriers to entry in regional investing by surfacing innovative opportunities delivering community-defined outcomes coupled with financial returns. Canopy is changing the conversation – and the landscape of institutional investing -- by building a transparent, collaborative model for a regional investment ecosystem that can be replicated outside the Pacific Northwest.

Hot off the presses! "The Pacific Northwest Capital Scan is our understanding of the capital flows – and gaps – within the regional economy. The Capital Scan tracks current capital flows by various investors and agencies into community-oriented investments (local crowd-funding and accelerators, regional private equity and venture capital, and so on). The University of Oregon researchers aggregated all available data and summarized it in one report to help us better understand who is providing capital, where it’s going, and perhaps most importantly, where it’s not."

Thanks to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for raising the question on how to get creative in scaling impact through capital. In partnership with Adler Colvin, Clark Nuber, and others Canopy created a deep dive into the structure we launched with as our contribution to this conversation. With a compelling forward by Philanthropy Northwest's CEO Jeff Clarke, here's the paper itself.

Thrilled to announce the 4th fund selected for our Canopy CAPITAL research and training program: Elevate Capital.

"As Canopy’s President Craig Muska points out, 'their intentional focus on diversity differentiates Elevate from other managers in the investment industry—a sector that systemically lacks support for leadership among minorities and women. The issue of inclusion is a priority for Canopy’s founding members.'”
