Croatan Institute is an independent, nonprofit research and action institute whose mission is to build social equity and ecological resilience by leveraging finance to create pathways to a just economy. 

Our work at the nexus of finance, social equity and ecological resilience addresses the following cross-cutting themes:

• • Accountability
  • Business & Human Rights
  • Climate Solutions
  • Equity & Inclusion
  • Farming & Forestry
  • Food Systems
  • Frameworks & Data Analytics
  • Resilient Communities

Since the Institute’s launch in 2014, we have rapidly established a reputation for rigorous, cutting-edge research and advocacy on a wide range of issues in sustainable finance and resilient economic development. Based in the research triangle region of North Carolina, with an extended team of affiliates in the Northeast, the South, the Mid-Atlantic, the West Coast and Geneva, Switzerland, the Institute is an early stage, entrepreneurial nonprofit working at the critical nexus where finance, sustainability, and economic development intersect.
