Social Investment Forum

The Social Investment Forum (SIF) (http://www.socialinvest.org) is a national trade association that was founded in 1981 to support the social investment industry. While SIF membership is limited to institutions or individual practitioners involved in the social investment industry, this is a diverse group that includes financial planners, portfolio managers, mutual fund companies, banks, foundations, community development organizations and research companies. For individual investors, SIF has a joint membership program with an organization called Co-op America (http://www.coopamerica.org). I will comment on this site in the Comparability with other Internet Resources section of this review.
