This afternoon, GVC negotiated and closed its first major financial arrangement with a large investor.  The deal guarantees an initial nonprofit investment of 15%, with an additional 15% of profits generated going to nonprofits on a quarterly basis. The deal will utilize 75% as venture capital for socially responsible companies, further enabling commercial interests that put communities and global well-being first.

More details to come soon!

One of the more intriguing programs we are creating here at GVC lies within the realm of Socially Responsible Investing, or SRI. The SRI effort was pioneered years ago by colleague Peter Camejo and his company Progressive Asset Management. The tradition continues today as more and more investors become cognizant of the impacts they have simply by moving their moneys around from corporation to corporation.

Some companies abuse the good will and precedent setting of the reputable entities; funds like Green Century purport to be “green” while still sticking your moneys into corporations like General Electric and Exxon – even so, they lose your money on a consistent basis. Take a look at their performance records over the last 10 years and see for yourself.

In short, “greenwashing” in the investment arena should not be any more palatable – especially when generating a consistent loss – than in any other corporate arena.

So we at GVC have constructed a new paradigm, based on strong investment potential, highly transparent screening processes, sound mathematical modeling for potential returns, and peace of mind for the green investor.

In the very near future we will have a dedicated site for this service; in the meantime, feel free to drop a comment to this post or contact us via email or phone for our most up-to-date prospectus, questionnaires, and the like.

This is yet another way GVC, businesses, individual investors, and nonprofits can work together to make the world a better, more balanced environment for all shareholders. And when it comes to mother earth, that is exactly what we are – stakeholders in the greatest asset available to us, our living planet.

One of the things we here at GVConsulting take pride in is measurable and verifiable success of nonprofit organizations around the country and globe. Some we have assisted, and others we hope to assist in the near future.

Vida Verde Nature Education is one such organization. Visit their website and learn about their inspiring work to bring kids from underprivileged and under-served areas of the San Francisco Bay region to their working farm at Half Moon Bay, California.

Their work is phenomenal, and we hope to post a complete interview with one of their founders soon. In the meantime, contact them through their website to learn how you can help, donate, or send words of praise.

They are a favorite of ours, and we hope they will be one of yours, as well.

As always, feel free to contact us for more information.
