Here are several small things you can do right away!

1. Open an online savings account at a socially responsible bank such as Shorebank or New Resource Bank. Most banks do not invest your deposits with social responsibility. .
2. Lend your money through a community investment institution. Either by making a microloan at Kiva or Microplace or by buying notes at Calvert Foundation you can lend your money to groups not commonly served by the lending industry.
3. Vote your proxy! If you own stock, vote your proxy for the initiatives at the shareholder meeting. By becoming involved you have a direct affect on the governance of the companies you hold stock in.
4. Talk to a socially responsible investment advisor or financial planner.
