foundation officers, and entrepreneurs who seek to balance financial,
social and environmental returns.
Since 1992, Investors' Circle has facilitated the investment of $80

Investors' Circle is dedicated to using the tools of venture capital to
promote the transition to a more environmentally responsible and socially
just economy (www.investorscircle.net).
- The Environmental Media Association (EMA)
mobilizes the entertainment industry in a global effort to educate people
about environmental issues and inspire them into action. EMA was created
in 1989 as a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation with
the simple, but powerful concept that through television, music and film,
the entire entertainment community could influence the environmental
awareness of millions of people.
Through celebrities and content, EMA has a profound effect on how
the public receives environmental information, and serves as a valuable
link between the entertainment industry and the environmental community
(www.ema-online.org).

social mission media company committed to
incubating new projects and ventures, as well as facilitating a link
