The Heron Foundation seeks to actively encourage other foundations, institutional investors, and other funders to join us in two areas of Heron Foundation practice: mission-related investing (MRI) and core support (general operating support) The Foundation will consider support for efforts that:

• Educate, catalyze and encourage others to undertake promising MRI and core support grantmaking strategies
• Develop products that promote MRI and facilitate specific MRI deals
• Disseminate lessons learned and case examples for both MRI and core support grantmaking

The Foundation expects to work closely with our colleagues in the nonprofit and for-profit capital markets to direct more resources to these promising strategies.
