Much like you Bill, on a much, much smaller scale, I'd like to use some of the totally unanticipated inheritance from my father for investing for the social and health welll being of the both the present and future of this planet. I was doing just fine before the inheritance, but having HIV/AIDS for 26-yes, before it even appeared on the CDC radar, I knew after the DR. at CDC, overcoming his fear of being "outed" by finally releasing the CDC data to physicians in 1984, that I had been infected right at the beginning of the pandemic. What I'm looking for is both good hearted adviced as to where I can invest the money to both achieve some positive social good and give me a little return as I enter my early retirement years (I'm 58), past sr. ex. at DHL International, parent of a great girl who just graduated college, with two degrees, got an instant job offer, married her financeé and is now calling Houston her new home. I am also, totally naive when it comes to investing and have avoided it because of my profound lack of insight as to how to proceed.
Any advice would be appreciated!
