Are Your Investments Aligned with Your Faith? Many nonprofit organizations accumulate assets for long-term investments, such as endowments and portfolio funds. While these mission-driven organizations would never openly support businesses profiting from pornography, gambling, abortion pills, or other activities contrary to Christian values, they may unknowingly be investing in these very industries. By deploying investment capital into broad index mutual funds or similar vehicles, ministries and nonprofits may see healthy returns. But should they be profiting from businesses that operate against their faith principles? If your nonprofit invests without considering the activities of the companies it supports, it may be time to reconsider. Christian organizations can invest in ways that honor their values while still fulfilling fiduciary duties to maximize long-term, risk-adjusted returns. Faith-based investing allows ministries to express their mission not only in day-to-day operations but also in how they steward financial resources. Meet Our Guest: Douglas R. MacGray. Doug is an experienced financial planner and passionate advocate for faith Driven investing. His journey began as a missionary in Micronesia, where he taught in a Christian boys' boarding school and supported local church outreach. As an attorney, Doug practiced law in Delaware for over a decade, specializing in estate planning and advising nonprofit organizations. He later transitioned into financial planning, obtaining his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation and acquiring a financial planning company. Today, he is the sole owner of Stonecrop Wealth Advisors, a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor. Doug works with nearly 200 families and individuals, with about 20% of his business dedicated to nonprofit ministries, including Christian higher education institutions, churches, and other faith-based organizations. Faith, Service and Health Board member at Gordon College, a Christian institution in Massachusetts Former board member at a Christian seminary and K-12 school Volunteer supporter of Edify, an international nonprofit supporting Christian K-12 schools in Latin America and Africa Has traveled to Uganda, the Dominican Republic, and Panama to support faith-based education initiatives Training to run two marathons in 2025 Join host Mark Griffin as he navigates the following key discussion points with his guest Doug MacGray. Hidden Risks in Traditional Investments Many nonprofits unknowingly invest in companies engaging in activities that contradict their faith. Understanding how mutual funds allocate capital is crucial for aligning investments with Christian values. Faith-Based Investing: A Responsible Alternative Nonprofits can structure their investment strategies to uphold Christian principles. Strategies exist to ensure strong financial returns while honoring faith commitments. Practical Steps to Align Investments with Mission How organizations can conduct an investment audit. Resources and advisors available to help nonprofits transition to faith-aligned investing. Call to Action If you serve on the board of a nonprofit, work in Christian higher education, or manage a ministry's finances, now is the time to assess your organization's investment strategy. Faith-based investing is a powerful way to ensure that your financial resources reflect your values. Concerned about your organization's as-is HR programs?

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, we sit down with Labour MSP Mark Griffin, Shadow Minister for Housing and Local Government, to discuss Scotland's ongoing housing crisis. Mark dives into the key issues plaguing the sector, including the shortage of affordable homes, the growing number of children in temporary accommodation, and the challenges facing the housing market after the 2008 financial crash. He shares his views on how to accelerate housebuilding, tackle land banking, and improve the planning system to meet Scotland's growing housing demands. Episode Highlights: Scotland's Housing Crisis: Over 10,000 children are currently living in temporary accommodation, a figure Mark calls "absolutely appalling." The root cause of the housing emergency is a 20-year shortfall in housing completions, with the market never fully recovering after the 2008 financial crisis. Need for More Homes: Mark stresses that the solution to the crisis is straightforward: build more homes across all tenures (private, social, and affordable). He highlights that Scotland needs approximately 700,000 new homes to meet current demand, according to research by Homes for Scotland. Affordable Housing and Government Investment: While the Scottish Government has built more social housing than the rest of the UK, Mark argues that it's not enough. He believes that more investment is needed across all housing sectors to address the broader crisis. He criticizes recent cuts to the affordable housing supply budget, which have prevented social landlords from fulfilling their affordable housing commitments. Planning System and Land Availability: Mark advocates for an overhaul of Scotland's planning system, which he says is under-resourced and bogged down in bureaucracy. He suggests increasing the scope of permitted development to speed up the process. He also discusses the issue of land banking by developers, calling for reforms to ensure more land is released for housing. Incentives for Renovating Empty Homes: Mark introduces the idea of a "£1 home" scheme, where first-time buyers can purchase an empty property for £1, provided they commit to renovating it. He also proposes loan financing to support renovations. Short-Term Lets Legislation: Mark discusses the controversial short-term lets legislation, which he feels is a "blanket approach" affecting areas that don't need it. He believes the focus should be on localised issues, rather than imposing regulations across all of Scotland. Tune in to hear Mark Griffin's take on how Scotland can overcome its housing crisis, the future of government policy, and what changes we need to see in the planning and rental sectors. ---------------------------------- Follow Prime Property Auction on Instagram: Prime Property Auction: https://www.instagram.com/primepropertyauctions/ John: https://www.instagram.com/john_property_auctioneer/ Luis: https://www.instagram.com/luis_property_auctioneer/ Visit Prime Property Auction website: https://primepropertyauctions.co.uk/ ------------------------------------ Follow us on all of our social media accounts: https://linktr.ee/scottishpropertypodcast **DISCLAIMER**Please do your own due diligence on any of our guests you may decide to do business with.

What do we do when we are faced with "The New"? When something is new to us, it's harder to estimate, harder to plan, and harder to execute.
