$200 million and growing non-profit social innovation
fund, registered as a charity in the UK and 501(c)(3) in the
US, was set up by a group of major government aid
agencies who saw the need for an independent
investment vehicle to bring a venture capital approach to
development.
Invests in social innovations that aim to improve the lives
and opportunities of millions of people in the developing
world living on less than $5 per day.
Uses a range of financial instruments – including grants,
equity, debt, and development impact bonds – to support
social enterprises, for-profit firms, non-profit
organizations, and researchers.
Places rigorous evidence of impact at the core of the
investment process to drive investment evaluation and
decision making to ensure investments create impact.
37 investments and grants made since launch in 2014.
Global Investment Footprint across more than 40
different African, Asian, and Latin American countries
accounting for 77% of the world’s poor.

Team
GIF proud to support Simprints, a UK-based
social enterprise working on biometric identity
tools, who are the main focus of this
presentation:

2. Over 1.1 billion people do not
have any form of identity,
making them invisible in the
eyes of the world
(World Bank 2017)

3. Simprints aims to radically disrupt the
inaccurate way we currently track
progress towards the SDGs, instead
building a world where every person—not
guesswork—counts in fighting poverty
globally

4. Simprints uses individuals’ fingerprints to
provide accurate ID, providing a suite of
hardware and software tools

5. Over 50k people reached to date, and 4 million+ in next three
years through BRAC partnership
