Overview

Canopy launched in 2015 to do the pioneering work of developing a community investing ecosystem in the Pacific Northwest. While the initial scope of the project was broader, Canopy was redesigned in 2018 to focus on its most promising elements: strengthening the collaborative regional network among impact investors; and curating learning experiences in place-based investing. Canopy was revamped in 2018 as a peer learning cohort of foundation finance and investment leaders in the Pacific Northwest, as well extended to philanthropy partners in Hawaii, with support from Shiho Fuyuki and Nancy Reid.
