The Community Investing Toolkit for the Faith Community, recently released by the Social Investment Forum, was developed to address the growing demand from religious investors for a community investing resource focused on the faith community.  The guide grew out of a 2007 roundtable discussion of 25 representatives from various religious institutions.
