In 2012, the Franciscan Sisters of Mary engaged Imprint Capital, led by John Goldstein, to help integrate mission-aligned impact investments into our overall investment program.
Imprint brought deep expertise in impact investing and worked closely with FSM to translate our values into a disciplined investment strategy. Their work included helping to design and implement a comprehensive impact investment framework rooted in our focus on the compassionate care of creation and aligned with our broader commitments to human dignity, environmental stewardship, and economic justice.
Imprint supported FSM in identifying and diligencing investment opportunities across private asset classes that offered both financial return and measurable social and environmental impact. They also developed customized reporting tools to track the performance and mission alignment of these investments. Imprint’s guidance played a critical role in helping FSM establish one of the early, institutional-scale Catholic impact investing programs in the United States. Their work laid the foundation for our current impact investing strategy.
In 2015, Imprint Capital was acquired by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Many of Imprint’s team members continued their work within Goldman Sachs, contributing to the expansion of its impact investing capabilities. FSM has continued to engage with the Imprint division of GSAM to this day, maintaining a consistent focus on aligning our capital with our mission and the compassionate care of creation.
