The Impact Capital Managers mission is to accelerate the performance of their members and promote the smart growth of the private capital impact investing marketplace. They do this through their membership association, which today includes 52 funds representing more than $11B in impact-focused capital, and through field-building initiatives and partnerships. The ICM network of peers is engaged and collaborative by nature. General Partners join their community to find resources and to be a resource to others in equal measure. As part of their commitment to grow the marketplace with integrity, members must meet certain criteria and admission is by invitation only.
