Meet the innovators expanding access to financing so more people can turn their hard work into opportunity.

"It's time we harness the full power of our vast investments to renew faith in an American dream that works for everyone."
About the Book
For millions of Americans, full-time work no longer guarantees financial security, homeownership feels out of reach, and opportunity depends too much on who you are or where you live.
Investing in America tells the inspiring stories of the innovators addressing these shared challenges by providing fair financing solutions to overlooked people and communities. From Maine to California, Alaska to Florida, and 38 states in between, these examples show a new way to solve seemingly intractable challenges. The book describes what a reader with a savings account, $1, and an internet connection can do to Invest in America themselves.
Expanding access to finance alone will not solve these challenges. But solving them will be impossible unless we do.
This patriotic, bipartisan, and optimistic book shows how we can get that done.

In a new piece for The Observer, Antony and Ford Foundation's Roy Swan make the case that treating financial return as an investor's only obligation is the truly radical idea, one that became culturally dominant only recently. They argue impact investors are reconnecting to older, more durable principles about what investment capital is for.

Meeting the book baby
Antony flew to Chicago to finally hold a finished copy — thanks to the Wiley team for getting copies from the printer to this pre-launch event in time.

A labor of love
A client asked Antony to bring 20 copies of the book to a dinner meeting with their investors and other partners. So he put them in his backpack and hand-delivered them with a trek from Penn Station to the Upper West Side on a beautiful summer afternoon.
