Great Returns Grounded in Values
Where we choose to put our money matters. Whether it’s parked in a savings account at a big bank or sits in the stock market, what your money is funding may shock you—and not paying attention isn’t an option anymore.
In Activate Your Money: Invest to Grow Your Wealth and Build a Better World Invest for Better co-founder Janine Firpo delivers the foundational support that women need to talk to one another about their money and investments. The book offers step-by-step, and asset class by asset class insights, providing you with core investment knowledge and the concrete examples you’ll need to know how and where you can invest your money ethically.
Activate Your Money is integrated into many of the courses offered by Invest for Better. Combined with IFB’s Circle Experience, you’ll also discover communities of support that position you to learn, share your knowledge with other women, and enable the next generation of smart, confident, and values-aligned female investors.
