On a Mission: Investing for US Health Impact in 2014 provides an overview of mission investing in domestic health in 2014: participating organizations, areas of investment, dollars invested, and most commonly used investment vehicles.

Key survey findings include:

• The survey identified 16 organizations that made health impact investments in 2014 totaling more than $120 million.
• Debt was the most commonly used investment vehicle (68% of all investments), although nearly half of respondents used multiple investment vehicles to support their investees.
• Respondents invested across a range of health areas. More than two-thirds (69%) made investments in the care delivery system, 57% invested in social determinants of health, and 44% made investments in health and wellness.
• More respondents invested in nonprofit groups than in for-profit organizations. These nonprofit investments represented 66% of total investment dollars.

The California Health Care Foundation partnered with Mission Investors Exchange to conduct this survey.

Not intended to be a comprehensive study of all impact investors, the survey was designed to encourage participation in ongoing data-gathering efforts. If your organization would like to be included in future surveys, please contact CHCF.
