Raise Green
Investor of the Month
Welcome to the first ever installment of Raise Green Investor of the Month! In these short vignettes we’ll share the story of investors like you, who are anxious about climate change and social injustice and are unwilling to wait for the tides of change to create progress. These investors are action-minded and impatient with the status quo, and have turned to impact investing to empower meaningful change. With as little as $100, you can support the climate entrepreneurs and leaders who are building a better tomorrow, today.
William “Mac” Bowen
Background:
I am a family physician caring for patients of all ages in Santa Fe, NM, though I grew up in the suburbs of New York City. My father was an investment banker and that definitely taught me the power of investing to help shape the future and my mother worked for a non-profit housing company helping work for more equitable housing in our area. I have lived all over the country from college in North Carolina to residency in Tacoma, WA and I love to visit national parks, travel and learn about other people. I am married with two young children whom love to hike, camp, play and explore.
What motivated you to invest in a better future on Raise Green?
"I agree with the saying you vote with your dollar these days. If we want a cleaner future, we have to invest directly in the change. We don't have the capacity to invest lots of money these days, but if enough of us invest, it really adds up. This way I feel part of the future and can feel more optimistic about the environment for my children. These businesses are innovators and make financial sense in addition to the environmental. Thank you to Raise Green for making it possible!"
