Betsi Isay: Calvert Foundation
by
This summer, I worked for the Calvert Foundation’s Lending and Advisory Services Team as a Summer Associate. The Foundation serves as a non-profit financial intermediary that provides investors with innovative financial products that channel affordable capital to underserved communities around the world. If I had to summarize my internship in one sentence, I would say that I assisted in managing the lending side of a $110 million portfolio that consists of non-profit organizations around the world with a social mission. I worked on a range of projects including doing the due diligence, credit and risk analysis for a number of potential borrower non-profits, updating the Foundation’s risk management framework and analyzing (in both qualitative and quantitative terms) the social impact our investments were generating. I absolutely loved working with my team, which consisted of Investment Officers and the Director of Lending and Advisory Services. The range of projects I worked on and the level of responsibility I was given to manage these projects as well as my own time were invaluable parts of the internship.

This summer I worked at Echoing Green, a social Venture Capital fund that invests in entrepreneurial organizations with a social mission. As an intern in the strategy department, I worked on Echoing Green’s strategic plan, and also helped it evaluate the impact of its investments. The staff was great and gave me free reign to “create my own experience,†but I also really enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about social entrepreneurship and investing.
I worked with Save the Children and their investment committee on the management of their long-term endowment funds. In this role I analyzed investment returns, worked to improve the monthly reporting to the investment committee, performed due diligence visits with account managers, and managed the organization’s investment consultant search process. I had the opportunity to work with the organization’s CFO, the chairman of its investment committee, and individual members of the committee including one who teaches a course here at the Yale School of Management. The internship was a fantastic experience and provided great exposure to endowment management and the many obstacles which smaller endowments face in effectively managing their investment capital.
