Link to the Show / Show NotesStephen Viederman* is the former president of the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation, from which he retired in April 2000. During his tenure the Foundation became a leader in mission-related investing, an effort to reduce the dissonance between the foundation’s investments and its grant-making values through portfolio screening, shareholder activity, and mission-related venture capital investing. This effort was widely recognized by the national press, including the New York Times, a variety of finance and business journals, as well as the philanthropic press. In 1996 he co-founded the Foundation Partnership on Corporate Responsibility. He has also lectured extensively on these issues in North America, Europe and Asia.
Mr. Viederman continues his involvement as a member of the board and finance committee of the Needmor Fund, the Council for Responsible Public Investment, the advisory committees of Innovest Strategic Value Advisers, SustainAbility (UK), the Aurora Institute (Canada), and the Hawaii Capital Stewardship Initiative, and through consulting.
