Water Impact Investing
Quantified Ventures works with local governments, environmental nonprofits, and forward-thinking businesses to advance novel approaches to the water crisis in the western United States and water resource management throughout North America. By deploying customized funding and financing strategies, Quantified Ventures helps our partners improve drought resilience, water efficiency, and water management.
Innovative funding and financing approaches are a valuable tool in an increasingly taxed toolkit. Already strained water resources are being squeezed between population growth and climate change. Water managers have to navigate rising tensions between urban and rural communities, people and the environment. The traditional tools of water management – regulation, lobbying, grassroots action – need to be supplemented with new ways to drive capital toward the projects with the most impact.

Partner Testimonials
“Our Rain Check 2.0 program will make Buffalo a greener, healthier, and more equitable city. Green infrastructure provides benefits beyond its ability to manage stormwater, from community beautification and public green space, to workforce development, to public health. This Environmental Impact Bond illustrates our commitment to being data-driven, equitable, forward-thinking, and transparent in how we address stormwater and community resilience.”
“Environmental Impact Bonds draw significant interest from ESG-oriented investors. One muni ESG portfolio manager described the Hampton EIB as ‘the gold standard for muni green bond issuance’ and expressed hope that other issuers would move in the same direction.”
“The more we learned about EIBs, the more of a ‘no-brainer’ they became.”
“I’m an Environmental Impact Bond fan! The outcomes measurement and reporting produced a more attractive product for investors and really disciplined DC Water. EIBs open up better conversations with ratepayers, taxpayers, and customers.”
“Quantified Ventures provided important guidance and resources to our team as we developed an Environmental Impact Bond that demonstrates our commitment to seek out innovation in financing as well as innovation in implementing projects that will make our city more livable and more beautiful, while reducing flooding and pollution.”
