Our fund is focused on economic justice, which means that we invest in opportunity for all people—especially those most oppressed or abandoned by our current economic system—to lead a dignified and productive life.

integrated capital

We believe that we can best support the creation of resilient local economies by using a range of integrated capital tools: loans, credit enhancements, equity investments, royalty finance, direct public offerings, crowdfunding, grants and more. By using this “whole portfolio” approach, the Boston Impact Initiative is able to choose the best capital instrument for the age and stage of each organization we invest in.

about us

We invest in enterprises throughout Eastern Massachusetts that address the growing wealth gap and ecological challenges of our times. Why do we do this? Because we believe there won’t be any change in the fundamental conditions that contribute to persistent poverty and injustice until and unless we create the opportunity for people to own and control their future.
