Shaping finance for positive impact At Roots of Impact, we are dedicated to designing and implementing effective solutions and programs for financing social impact. Driven by the desire to maximize the impact on every dollar granted or invested we are working with public funders, philanthropists and impact investors globally to finance private sector innovations and enterprises with strong potential for positive impact at scale. Mobilizing private capital for sustainable development We are specialized in all aspects of innovative and blended finance that unlocks capital for the benefit of people and planet. With our partners, we implement financing models and programs where public and philanthropic funds mobilize additional private investment - by de-risking or enhancing revenues with incentives linked to social impact. Impact at the core We consider impact assessment imperative to understanding when blended or innovative finance is needed and how it can be optimized. Thus, we design and implement funding and investment models that fairly balance risks and returns and provide impact-aligned incentives. We also support impact investors and other funders in optimizing their portfolio and deal flow towards strong and sustained impact. Engaged in market building As a market builder, we care deeply about education around finance for positive impact and are incubating the Social Finance Academy - a one-stop-shop for practical knowledge & tools in the field of impact finance.
