QBE Possibilities Fund extends challenge grant for philanthropic impact investments supporting Blue Forest
The QBE Possibilities Fund launched this first-of-its-kind initiative in the US to give employees a vehicle to participate in philanthropic impact investments in three main areas: climate resilience, racial equity and gender equality. Philanthropic impact investing refers to the utilization of a donor-advised fund to direct donations to companies, organizations and funds with the intention of generating beneficial social or environmental impact as well as a financial return. Over time, any investment returns flow back to donors' CataCap accounts, which can then be further allocated towards new philanthropic investments or granted out to a nonprofit.
By extending this challenge grant to the public, QBE seeks to introduce CataCap's capability to a broader audience and attract new donors interested in philanthropic impact investing to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, while also maintaining the potential to recycle these funds towards future philanthropic impact investments.
The QBE Foundation has supported Blue Forest since 2022 with a mixture of grants and philanthropic impact investments made through the QBE Foundation and QBE Possibilities Fund.
"QBE is proud to be a long-standing supporter of Blue Forest," Mark Pasko, QBE North America's Chief Legal Officer. "QBE's purpose is to enable a more resilient future and that includes supporting organizations like Blue Forest that work to build social, environmental and economic resilience in our communities."
