Global Impact Ventures (GIV)

Global Impact Ventures

The Giving Fund is pleased to offer an exciting new platform of investment options. As the name implies, these investments intend to generate significant social and environmental impact.  Funds on the Global Impact Ventures (GIV) platform are selected first for their social and environmental mission impact and then for financial risk and return balanced in relation to the mission of the fund. Many of them provide unique “gap-filling” financing – channeling capital to markets that cannot get financing from traditional commercial sources.

These investments play a generative role in addressing social and environmental challenges by operating in the uncharted waters between philanthropy and profit maximization.
