The Fund supports transformative solutions that serve low-income and vulnerable people by combining flexible capital from social impact investors and contributors with knowledge-sharing to create sustainable and affordable Our community development work is supported by investments from individuals, organizations and financial institutions that recognize the positive human impact community investing has on underserved areas.
