The Growth Impact Fund provides social investment for early stage, growing social purpose organisations. Investment is made to organisations that are:

Led by diverse leaders and teams.
Looking to grow their trading income.
Committed to helping tackle inequality.

The fund hopes to tackle the structural barriers to social investment, as highlighted by the Adebowale Commission, which found that despite £600m of public investment since 2010, the social investment market remained unchanged. In the first 5 years, we hope that:

120 Social Purpose Organisations can access support and we hope to make 50-60 investments. We anticipate this averaging out to between 10 - 15 investments a year (depending on size).
480,000 people per year can benefit from the Social Purpose Organisations that we support
Social Investment market changes as a result, and we will be sharing our learnings from the fund publicly through our blog and wider publications to support this.
