Northwestern University, J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management

The International Impact Investing Challenge (IC3) is an annual "pitch competition" launched by faculty of Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. It seeks to increase interest in impact investing among graduate students in leading business and professional programs worldwide by encouraging and showcasing the creation of plans for new investment vehicles that promise both financial returns and social impact. To raise IC3’s visibility and expand participation, Kellogg will conduct a marketing and social media campaign with Net Impact, a leading association of 20,000+ worldwide business and professional students, and develop a new mentoring program to help student teams obtain advice from experienced impact investing professionals.
