Public Policy

Impact Capital Managers’ public policy work is focused on ensuring that impact investors are informed, engaged, and represented in the policy conversations shaping the broader investment landscape.

As a network of private capital fund managers deploying capital across sectors like financial access, workforce, healthcare, and climate, our members operate at the intersection of markets and policy. Our role is to help translate that experience into clear, credible input for policymakers while equipping our members to engage effectively.

Overview

We provide members with timely information, context, and opportunities to engage in policy conversations with confidence.

Amplify the Investor Voice

We elevate insights from across our network to ensure policymakers understand how capital is deployed and where barriers exist.

Policy Working Group

ICM’s Policy Working Group is a member-driven forum that helps shape our approach to policy and regulation. It brings together investors from across the network to share insights, surface priorities, and inform where coordinated engagement can be most effective. The group serves as a space for learning, discussion, and alignment, helping ensure ICM’s policy work reflects real market experience and member perspectives.

Policy Working Group chairs:

  • Vikas Raj, Co-Founder & General Partner, ResilienceVC

  • Jennifer von Bismarck, Founder & CEO, Galway Sustainable Capital

As Policy Chairs, they help shape priorities, guide engagement, and ensure our work reflects the breadth of strategies and perspectives across the ICM network.
