ImpactPHL introduces itself with the line, "Join the collaboration to grow Philadelphia's impact economy," and gives the following descriptive information:

ImpactPHL unifies stakeholders from the investment, philanthropic, civic, and entrepreneurial ecosystems to lead the growth of a global movement uniquely poised to define Philadelphia’s present and future.

In the spring of 2015, a community of regional leaders in investing, entrepreneurship, wealth management, and civic innovation initiated a series of workshops to explore and better understand our region’s impact economy: the idea that capital, carefully devoted to mission-focused ventures, can yield both profitable returns and drive positive change in our community.

The insight from these discussions has now been published in the Greater Philadelphia Impact Economy Report, a project led by Ben Franklin and the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia. The report crystallized a need to develop a point of entry—a “front door”— for investors, entrepreneurs and civic leaders to engage in our impact ecosystem and facilitate further conversation around impact investing. impactPHL is the result.
