Approximately 30% of the Calvert Foundation portfolio is invested internationally; 70% is invested in the United States. Over 2,200 individuals and institutions invest in Calvert Foundation, including Calvert Group, a socially responsible mutual fund company that invests between 1-3% of assets in the Foundation.

Calvert Foundation does not offer grants, but lends funds to groups that will re-lend the money to businesses, nonprofits or projects in their respective communities.
