As a society, we face problems too large and complex to address with grant capital alone. Impact investments complement philanthropy and government spending to scale promising solutions for change.
Social Finance develops and manages innovative, impact-first investment products that generate positive outcomes for people and communities. Since our founding in 2011, we have mobilized more than $350 million designed to improve lives through investments in workforce and economic mobility, health, and housing.
Our Services
As a registered investment advisor, we design, launch, and manage impact-first investments—investments designed to generate positive outcomes for people and communities.
We partner with individuals, family offices, and foundations to amplify their impact by directing more capital to toward positive social and environmental outcomes. We offer:
Asset Management: We build unique products like the Impact First Fund, the investment program funded by the Google Career Certificates Fund, the UP Fund, the Dreamers Graduate Loan Fund, and place-based Pay It Forward Funds.
Impact Investment Advisory Services: We provide advice to investors on how to build impact investing portfolios.
Revolving workforce fund to upskill residents and fill critical job openings
Social Finance is measuring and scaling what works. We need to move toward evidence-based funding, and they’re supporting programs that show it can be done.
