Fundamentals of Impact Investing

3 credits

This course introduces students to the principles and practices of impact investing through experiential learning and applied research. Based on the Propel Impact Investing Fellowship model, students conduct a comprehensive due diligence assessment of a local social purpose organization in Saskatchewan. Using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, students evaluate financial performance, business model viability, and social impact potential to determine investment readiness. The course emphasizes real-world application through interviews, data analysis, and collaboration with Propel Impact. ***Prerequisite: Permission of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs).***
