Boston Impact Initiative

ABOUT The Boston Impact Initiative Fund has a unique role in the field of impact investing. 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. BII seeks to take an integrated capital approach (combining investing, lending and giving) to putting money to work in our local community. Our ambition is to build a model that other investors can contribute to in Boston, as well as to share our learning with communities elsewhere. INTEGRATED CAPITAL STRATEGY The Boston Impact Initiative seeks to invest in organizations and initiatives—both for-profit and not-for-profit—that are committed to creating a better future for Boston’s youth and families. Unfortunately, the businesses that we most want to succeed often suffer from a lack of access to 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, crowd-funding, grants and more.
