Why We Support This Work

Impact investing is a powerful catalyst for global progress. Access to capital remains a major challenge for enterprises, non-governmental organizations, and funds that are working to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world. Worldwide, there is a multi-trillion-dollar global capital shortfall, according to the United Nations, dampening progress on poverty, global health, climate change, inequality, and other problems outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

What We Are Doing

We make flexible, patient, and risk-tolerant investments in projects that spur inclusive economic growth, fight climate change, and advance racial equity.
