Rush University System for Health’s (RUSH) Impact Investing Fund (“the Fund”) is explored in a new case study. The case study covers the Fund’s inception and design, strategies employed, and key stakeholders involved. In addition, it examines Rush’s partnerships with other local anchor institutions through West Side United (WSU) on place-based investing projects. Finally, it discusses several projects that the Fund has supported, including small businesses owned by people of color (like the Corner Store Deli and La Orquidea), and community development initiatives through Foundation for Homan Square (including Nichols Tower and Power House High School).
