Overview
In mid-2024, the Foundation launched a new impact investing program with a $10 million commitment. The program will provide loans to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and social enterprises that advance whole health in under-resourced communities. Through loans with interest rates below prime rates, these partners will address social issues, including access to care, food insecurity, and health disparities.
The Foundation will leverage these investments to provide inclusive and affordable financing for purpose-driven businesses that may not have traditional banking resources available to them. More accessible and impact-aligned capital across business stages can enable a wider range of businesses, including minority/women-owned ones, to scale impact and accelerate positive change in their communities.
The Foundation will make investments in states across the country, prioritizing communities where we can meaningfully affect the health and well-being of children and their families.
The Foundation is partnering with Mission Driven Finance, a Certified B Corporation in California, that mobilizes capital to increase inclusive and equitable access to education, health, and wealth. Mission Driven Finance is co-founded and co-owned by a woman of color and features an intentionally diverse team.
