This week: Church of England prepares for controversy over reparations fund; catalytic EU funding creates three Eastern European impact funds; Hey Girls’ Celia Hodson’s next move; DEI nosedive; a new funders platform for Asia, and more.
Church of England will use initial £100m commitment to catalyse further investment to the Fund for Healing, Repair and Justice to support global African diaspora, in what is hailed as a "watershed moment" for impact investing.
Announcement follows investigation into Church Commissioners' links with 18th-century slave trade, but commitment could be dwarfed by impact investing initiatives already planned by individual churches.
