Impact thesis
We lend to microfinance institutions and fair trade organizations with a proven track record of contributing to poverty reduction and promoting economic justice among the poor across the globe. Over 2007-2009, our work assisted MFI borrowers in serving 628,000 microentreprenurs with strong targeting to poor clients and women. Similiarly, within the U.S., promoting access to socially responsible capital is a proven tool for facilitating economic justice among under served low income people and communities. Within our US portfolio, we collect a range of indicators consistent with the CDFI Data Project and the Community Impact Investment System of the U.S. Department of Treasury CDFI Fund. Over 2007-2009, our work helped borrowers finance 1,919 units of affordable housing, create and/or maintain 579 jobs, finance 267,748 square feet of community facility and neighborhood commercial real estate, and enable community service borrowers to serve an average of 1,400 people per month.
