Calvert Foundation was incorporated in September 1988 as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, though its current programs were launched in 1995, the result of a collaboration between Calvert Investments, Inc. (formerly Calvert Group), the socially responsible mutual fund company, and the Ford, MacArthur and Mott Foundations. Currently, Calvert Foundation has nearly $200 million invested in 250 community organizations in all 50 states and over 100 countries. Our portfolio comprises investment in a diversified mix of high-impact organizations whose missions cover a range of social causes and innovations, including affordable housing, microfinance, Fair Trade coffee, small business development, and the establishment of essential community facilities such as charter schools, daycare centers and rehabilitation clinics. To date, our investors and supporters have helped us build or rehabilitate over 17,000 homes, create 430,000 jobs in the U.S. and in developing countries, and finance over 25,000 cooperatives, social enterprises, and community facilities.
