Mission Aligned Investing: An Interview with HealthSpark Foundation President & CEO Emma Hertz

In November 2025, HealthSpark Foundation launched our Local Impact Investing portfolio to align our assets with our mission and values. HealthSpark commits to investing $2 million, or 5% of our endowment, by the end of 2027 into mission-aligned nonprofit and for-profit ventures that will build healthy, equitable, and hopeful communities throughout Montgomery County. This initiative has two parts: Part 1: Montco Housing Loan Fund – HealthSpark will invest $1 million of our assets into the Montco Housing Loan Fund to expand access to attainable housing and increase public, private, and philanthropic investment into Montgomery County’s affordable housing stock. Part 2: Partnership with Zenith Wealth Partners to invest an additional $1 million into local for-profit ventures that are aligned with our values of community power and community-led solutions. By 2029, 100% of our overall investment portfolio is aligned with our mission. "I’m so proud to see HealthSpark step deeper into our mission by adding a local impact investing strategy to our portfolio,” said Emma Hertz, President and CEO of HealthSpark Foundation. “By investing a portion of our endowment into local companies and nonprofits, we can spur even greater outcomes for our community while simultaneously ensuring we can provide continued grant support for years to come.” We are investing in possibility – building homes, supporting local leaders, and helping shape a Montgomery County that is affordable, inclusive, and full of promise – today and for generations to come. Stay tuned for future episodes and join us on this journey as we grow hopeful, healthy, and equitable communities across the county. To learn more, visit https://healthspark.org/news/healthspark-f...
