There are many great resources to help you find community investments; a good place to begin is CommunityInvest.org. To make it simple for investors, the Calvert Foundation, has created Calvert Community Investment Notes, the first registered security that allows investors to put their resources in a pooled investment of community loan funds. This portfolio encompasses microcredit, affordable housing, small business and community development lenders across the country and around the world, with more than 150 organizations represented. The investor chooses the amount ($1,000 minimum), the term (one, three, or five years) and the interest rate (0-3 percent). Investors can choose to allocate their investments to loan funds in a specific region,or worldwide; larger investors may allocate their monies to specific programs.
