Driving Progress Through Impact Investing
Lumina supports innovation in higher education through strategic investments that drive progress toward Lumina’s national goal: by 2040, 75 percent of adults in the U.S. labor force will have college degrees and other credentials with value leading to economic prosperity. We invest in organizations that generate ideas, build knowledge, and create systems that better support all students. We also work to foster a collaborative impact investing ecosystem by initiating cross-sector discussions, shaping new financing practices, and bringing together strategic partners.
We invest in solutions that demonstrate:
Strategic Alignment
We support ideas and systems that improve access to higher education and help individuals earn college degrees or workforce credentials of value. Our partners generate innovative solutions to drive real change.
Impact
We look for investment opportunities that will help as many people as possible obtain meaningful credentials that lead to economic prosperity. Scalable solutions allow us to reach diverse populations and communities that traditional educational systems have historically poorly served. We also seek projects, products, or services that can attract additional funders.
Financial Sustainability
We ensure that our investments are financially sustainable. We support ventures that can generate financial returns and demonstrate economic stability.
