Purpose, capital, activation.

The work

Three ways the family puts capital and time to use.

Investing

LSFO seeks market financial returns alongside demonstrable social and climate impact, from an increasingly values-based portfolio. All investing is executed by Beatrice Advisors, our multi-family office partner. The Investment Policy Statement is available on request.

LSFO is a signatory to DivestInvest, The Belonging Pledge and Freedom to Invest.

Investing philosophy

Grant-making

The family directly supports mission-aligned non-profits that are accomplishing measurable change in racial equity and climate action. Through its donor-advised fund, it also makes recoverable grants to early-stage funds and social enterprises led by historically underrepresented managers and entrepreneurs.

Grantees and approach

Teaching

The aim is to narrow the gap between academia and practice, so the next generation is in a position to influence global impact. Peter Lupoff teaches impact investing as a Special Lecturer at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and advises students at Harvard Kennedy School. Private workshops and in-house programs are available on request.
