Leaders in Socially Responsible and Sustainable Investing

Since 2013, SFSU has been committed to socially responsible and sustainable investing. Over the years, our investment policy has expanded to include investments that promote racial and social justice and deepen our commitment to the environment and climate justice. We are proud of our efforts and have worked hard to ensure that our investments reflect the institutions values and are transparent.

Tracking our Success

Each fiscal year, we highlight our successes in an annual report that’s published online in March. The report is a snapshot of our fundraising and investment performance for the previous fiscal year. It’s a summary of our successful initiatives and partnerships and also features notable donors.
