Inspire Investing is proud to become the newest member of the Christian Investment Forum (CIF), a Kingdom-focused investment association committed to advancing and promoting the biblically responsible investing (BRI) movement. The CIF has been researching BRI for over 7 years and is quickly becoming one of the go-to resources on the topic.
Inspire Investing is a global thought leader in the biblically responsible investing space, providing investors and advisors access to faith-based ESG investments that are index based and align with biblical values. Inspire identifies some of the most inspiring, biblically aligned companies through their innovative Inspire Impact Score methodology, which is a rules based, data driven approach to measure a company’s positive impact on the world.
Here is what Inspire CEO, Robert Netzly, had to say about becoming a member, “Education is the key to advancing the BRI movement. That is why we are happy to be partnering with the CIF to educate and equip both investors and advisors with the necessary tools to successfully implement BRI and align their investments with their values.”
John Siverling, President of the CIF, had this to say, “The Christian Investment Forum is excited to add Inspire Investing as a member. CIF is committed to increasing the awareness and use of faith driven investing and embracing the different styles and approaches our members take to bring their Christian faith actively into how they professionally manage money. With the addition of Inspire investments to the roster of award-winning mutual funds and investment products from CIF members, investors have a growing list of investment options that align with their faith.”
The CIF hosts an annual gathering to help sharpen the skills of like-minded investors and advisors on biblically responsible investing. There are a variety of sessions to equip attendees with the latest information and trends on BRI, implementation techniques, as well as the ability to engage with peers and experts in the industry. This year’s summit is hosted again in Asheville, North Carolina at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove on August 14th to the 16th.
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in the Silicon Valley of California, Inspire Investing seeks to create meaningful impact in the lives of people across the globe by providing biblically aligned investments that support Christian ministry and is a leading authority in the Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) movement.
Inspire also donates 50% or more of their own corporate profits generated from management fees to support impactful ministry projects around the globe. Most recently Inspire adopted a village in the coffee farming mountains of Guatemala and is working to provide a church building, clean water, improved education, a fully functional medical clinic, and child sponsorship to completely transform the lives of the those living in that impoverished village.
