6. Today’s Agenda
● What does Impact Investing mean for
nonprofits?
● Examples of nonprofits using Impact
Investing
● How your nonprofit can find the right
partners
8. What Does Impact Investing Mean for Nonprofits?
● We are faced with seemingly intractable social
and environmental problems at a global and local
scale.
○ Climate change
○ Poverty & inequality
○ Health care
● Nonprofits and social enterprises are building
business models to tackle these problems
● Lack of capital is a big barrier to starting and
scaling solutions.
● Impact Investing is one approach to addressing
this capital gap.
This presentation draws on materials created by TechSoup partners Cutting Edge Capital and SVX.
9. What is Impact Investing?
● “Investments made into companies,
organizations, and funds with the
intention to generate a measurable,
beneficial social and environmental
impact along with a financial return.” --
Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN)
● There is a large and growing pool of
capital dedicated to impact investing in
the US and around the world.
This presentation draws on materials created by TechSoup partners Cutting Edge Capital and SVX.
10. What types of capital can you raise?
● In addition to raising capital
from non-repayable sources
like grants, nonprofits can
also do debt financings.
● Nonprofit organizations don’t
have shares of equity to sell.
● Some nonprofits with earned
income strategies may
choose to do debt financings
as a growth capital strategy.
This presentation draws on materials created by TechSoup partners Cutting Edge Capital and SVX.
