In September 2021, Janine Firpo, the author of Activate Your Money, joined forces with Ellen Remmer to empower other women to take control of their money through values-aligned investing. Their endeavor, Invest for Better, which was incubated for over two years under The Philanthropic Initiative, is now a standalone 501(c)3 organization.  

Invest for Better meets women where they are, and provides them the knowledge, community, and confidence they need to take action and invest in alignment with their values. The non-profit brings women together in small peer-led circles that allow them to build trust, share ideas, and seek better investment opportunities for themselves, their communities and the world. As each Invest for Better member is inspired to take control of her money, she has not only the members of her Circle, but an entire community of peers and financial experts to support to help her on her personal journey. 

The original learning circles started were held in living rooms where women gathered in search of shared learning and trusted community. During the COVID pandemic, the model went virtual enabling women around the world to empower themselves financially. 

New circles form several times a year. If you would like to learn more, visit Invest for Better and be sure to check out the Get Involved page.
