If you had $1,000,000 dollars to invest over a five year period what would you invest in and why? The investment must also meet the following requierments.
1. It makes the most money.
2. It must be a low-medium risk investment.
3. It should benefit the community in some way.

Affordable housing, perhaps? Build an apartment community, lease it out, and sell it...
But $1,000,000 is not nearly enough for a quality affordable housing project. Even if you leverage it 2:1 (which is somewhat of a standard), you still have only $3,000,000 in capital, which will buy you 30 units if you're lucky and 10 if you're not...

REGARDLESS of the amount of money you are trying to invest, the fact that You set a timeline of Only 5 years limits you to certain types of investments. This prevents the potential loss of “seed" capital.
Investing takes into account two factors;
1) Investment Goals: Which you did put down.
2) The Time Available for Investing: In your case that's 5 years.
Based on the info that You provided, you should limit your investments to cash generating money market accounts, CD's and short term bonds and or short term bond funds.
You have Not given yourself enough time to effectively invest in stocks or mutual funds or Any other riskier investments because they have timelines that exceed ten years Or are just plane "gambling investments".
My First choice to satisfy your "benefit the community" clause won't work because most "municipal bonds" have a longer maturity then five years.
The Only way the community could benefit is by making charitable donations off of the money made by the $1 mil during those 5 years.

If you have the money (1mill$) and a project that benefits the community ready and planned out, there are a few options.
Of course in investment there is no such thing as low risk and high rewards.
If you are prepared to accept the risk involved, I think the rewards are definitely attainable.
However, my general observation on these forums have been that these questions are mostly throretical and idle chat.
However, if you are serious , I can be contacted off board, or at elogfx@gmail.com .

Buy gold with one third. Invest one third in stocks. And one third in real estate.
