1. Social banking discussion list

Purpose

3rd_System.gif (1817 bytes)INAISE initially started this discussion list under the European Commission DG Employment (DGV) funded programme of 1998-2000 and it continues to this day.  Around 360 participants are subscribed to this network of social investors, INAISE members and partner organisations primarily to discussing the issue of upscaling social investment, but also link people involved in social investment in diverse countries and regions.

The list is open to anyone interested in growing and upscaling social investment, primarily focused around the EU.  The usual language is English.

2. Sofilaw discussion list

SoFiLaw stands for "Social Finance Law group". It is linking up people who are trying to solve regulation problems that "social finance", in its most various forms, is facing in Europe and beyond. Discussion topics may therefore involve issues such as banking regulation, banking supervision, status difficulties, fiscal problems or eligibility difficulties for government support.

This list has been started by INAISE.

3. Community Development Banking

Since 1994, this list has served practitioners including Community Development Credit Unions, CD Banks, CDCs, CD Loan Funds, and non-profits involved in support. The discussions have ranged from the practical (construction, mortgage, and small business lending; job opportunities, conferences, fundraising) to legislative (CRA, HMDA, and CDFI) to the cutting edge (micro-loan funds, peer lending, local currency, targeting social impact).

Community Development Banking list is a free, ongoing email resource of CARDI and Alternatives Credit Union.
