PART 3
Capital in Action
“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
- Arthur Ashe
As an engaged and conscious investor, you may be able to spot when different financing is at play and target actions according to which type of capital you’re able to deploy. That’s when we started having some fun along the spectrum. By seeing what impact our actions have, we can use vehicles that work well for the desired outcome.
Taking this knowledge one step further, we applied the 5Ts (treasure, time, talent, ties, and testimony) across the spectrum. Yes, we make financial capital allocations, and we make human capital allocations. Combined, our allocation of all resources is far more meaningful for us as well as the organisations that hold or receive our money. We now see things differently, where others might miss the connection because we are working across the spectrum. Likewise, we strengthened our relationships with our employers, wealth advisers, grantees, investments, friends, and neighbours simply by being more aware of the impact of all our actions.
