New Mexico Impact Investing Collaborative (NMIIC)

At the NMIIC Summit, we explored why local impact investing isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. Every dollar invested here strengthens our communities, fuels our businesses, and builds our economic future. When capital stays in New Mexico, it drives innovation, funds sustainable industries, and creates jobs where they matter most. The alternative? Capital leaving the state, funding projects elsewhere while our communities miss out. We have the power to change that. By investing locally, we’re not just chasing returns—we’re creating resilience, equity, and opportunity for generations to come. This isn’t charity—it’s strategy. And it’s time to invest where it truly counts. #InvestInNM #ImpactInvesting #FinanceForChange #KeepCapitalLocal #NMIICSummit #StrongerTogether

We sat down with Nicole Johnny from Raven Indigenous Capital Partners to ask: What’s the biggest lesson she’s learned from impact investing?

In honor of Earth Day, we’re diving into one of NMIIC’s 5 Key Focus Areas: Sustainable Agriculture & Land Management. From climate resilience to local food systems, impact investments in sustainable land management don’t just protect our environment—they strengthen communities, create jobs, and ensure future generations have access to vital resources. Why It Matters: 90% of New Mexico farms are family-owned (USDA Census of Agriculture). Drought and climate change continue to challenge our land and water use (NOAA & New Mexico State University). Investing in sustainable agriculture creates long-term economic and environmental benefits (New Mexico Department of Agriculture & USDA SARE Program). By supporting impact investments in sustainable agriculture, we’re helping ensure a resilient future for New Mexico’s farmers, food systems, and communities. #ImpactInvesting #SustainableAgriculture #EarthDay #NMIC #RegenerativeFarming #ClimateResilience

What if communities owned the businesses that shape their local economies? As small business owners retire across New Mexico, many lack succession plans that keep their businesses locally owned. Without transition options, these businesses often close or get acquired by outside investors—leading to job losses and wealth leaving our communities. Community ownership is a solution. Worker cooperatives, community trusts, and shared-equity enterprises keep businesses in the hands of those who sustain them, creating economic security, racial equity, and long-term wealth-building. At our Virtual Learning Session on April 29th, we’ll explore: ✅ How community ownership builds resilient local economies ✅ Investment strategies that fund business transitions ✅ The role of policy in scaling these efforts Join us and be part of the conversation.
