Monitor Institute recently released an excellent report on the state of impact investing, how it has evolved, who is doing it and how, and where it may go. You can download the Full Report or the Executive Summary. As noted in the report, the key findings describe:

• The current state and shape of the industry at a critical moment in its development — so you can locate yourself in the current landscape, relect on its opportunities and challenges, and understand what has catalyzed other industries at this phase of evolution
• How impact investing might evolve — so you can develop an understanding of what the future may hold, including the promise and tradeoffs of pursuing different strategies
• An approach for accelerating the growth and impact of this style of investing — so you can assess what you can do to seize the business opportunities inherent in it and understand what could be achieved by joining with others
• A call to action — so you can understand the importance of the moment and can develop a concrete sense of what success in building a marketplace for impact investing might look like in the months and years ahead

Check out Katherine Fulton's slides from SoCap08 for a condensed version of some of these findings.
