LEADING WITH IMPACT CAPITAL
Impact capital can move mountains, and people. Since the 90s, the Grassroots team’s experiences as one of the earliest impact investors impressed upon us the power that mission-driven capital has to create innovative and sustainable solutions for the world’s most pressing and seemingly intractable challenges. Poverty and inequality? Erosion of community? Disempowerment? Climate insecurity? With ingenuity, heart, and funds, it’s inspiring to realize how much positive change is possible.
CONSIDERING ALL STAKEHOLDERS
Grassroots recognizes that in impact investing, as in life, they are stronger together. Gathering resources for the greater good is a cornerstone of strategic and successful impact investment. By considering all stakeholders, the potential for positive impact is profound.
BUILDING IMPACT THROUGH INVESTMENTS
Grassroots has designed, launched and managed more than a dozen global impact investment funds in microfinance, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), climate resilience, sustainable agriculture, affordable housing, health protection and education. Investment capital is one of the most powerful tools for positively transforming the world. Grassroots is proud to help individuals and institutions to contemplate not how money can change them, but how they can use their money to change the world.
Grassroots has over 300 million clients, fully integrated into capital markets and many national financial systems, microfinance is an early pioneer of the “impact investing” movement and serves as a model for impact investing more broadly.
