Greetings!

Thank you for your interest in partnering with us in our mission to support the growth of responsible investing practices on college and university campuses across the country.

In this section you will find information about the many different ways that you can lend your support to REC’s exciting projects and innovative work while receiving significant exposure for your company, including different sponsorship opportunities for companies interested in helping engage young people, and college and university communities more generally, to do responsible investment. 

From ensuring that a student can reap the benefits of a year-round REC internship opportunity, to giving conference scholarships, you and your company have the chance to positively impact the next generation of social activists and leaders through your sponsorship. However you decide to support our work, know that your investment will have a high rate of return!

Sponsor a REC Conference

Why Sponsor a REC Conference?
For the past seven years, the Responsible Endowments Coalition has been hosting the nation’s ONLY student conference with the specific goal of moving colleges and universities to adopt responsible investment policies. As a sponsor, you have an incredible opportunity to gain exposure with colleges and universities, and the next generation of SRI professionals and investors.

What is a REC conference like?
In the fall of 2010 we had over 80 students attend our National conference. The conference provides a comprehensive introduction to responsible investing for newer members of the coalition, and give more seasoned members an opportunity to share ideas, network and plan joint actions. REC welcomes inquiries for 2011 conference sponsorship; please contact Annie McShiras at annie@endowmentethics.org to learn more. 

REC would like to thank our 2010 National Conference Sponsors: Trillium Asset Management, Portfolio 21, AltruShare Securities, Parnassus Investments, TruCost, Consultiva, University Bank, First Affirmative Financial Networks, The Sustainability Group, Boston Common Asset Management, Walden Asset Management.
