Racial Justice Investing (also styled Racial Justice Investing Coalition or RJI) is a coalition of investors, asset owners, investment professionals, and business leaders organized to advance racial equity through changes in investing practices, corporate stewardship, and public policy. The group focuses on educating members, coordinating shareholder engagement, developing tools and best practices, and centering the perspectives of communities of color to address how capital and financial systems contribute to racial injustice.
Promotes investor-driven corporate governance reforms and shareholder engagement to address racial equity; advocates for public policies that confront racialized outcomes of capital allocation and financial regulation; advances investment practices that increase capital for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other underinvested communities; supports disclosure, workforce and board diversity, and accountability for harms tied to products or business models (e.g., criminalization, predatory lending); provides guidance, toolkits, and working groups to shift institutional investment practices toward racial justice.
Primarily funded by membership dues from participating asset owners and asset managers, supplemented by grants, philanthropic support, and fees for member services and events.
Membership and partnerships include institutional investors, asset managers, foundations, and racial justice nonprofit networks; RJI has partnered with movement-aligned organizations and platforms such as Make Justice Normal and other investor and civil-society groups to coordinate research, toolkits, and engagement initiatives.
