We focus on filling capital gaps left by traditional financing with a range of funding options including tools such as direct investments, grantmaking, special purpose investment funds, and other custom programs.
The racial wealth gap continues to widen despite dozens of programs to increase economic security, there are more food pantries than McDonalds in the US, and only 36 affordable and available rental homes exist for every 100 extremely low-income renter households.
Coordinating the use of different forms of financial resources, including grants and investments, supports a larger range of solutions that can tackle problems in different ways. No one organization can solve an issue alone. No one source of capital is the answer to funding solutions.
—think less about the organizations they want to support and more about the specific problems they want to solve. They favor a systemic approach to achieving impact at scale using a range of tools to get there.
These Funds accept capital in the form of grant and investment dollars, and the funds from the SPF are disbursed through a mix of regular grants, expenditure responsibility grants and multiple investment types including loans, revenue-based financing and even guarantees. This allows capital to be brought together in service of a particular mission or investment thesis and be disbursed through an integrated capital model.
Special Purpose Fund’s are driven by advisory committees comprised of people with experience and relationship to the issue and community being addressed. This moves the decision making closer to the problem and results in more impactful investments.
