Grassroots Business Fund Investor
Grassroots Business Fund (GBF) strives to create a world where economic opportunity reaches everyone, growing viable businesses that generate sustainable earnings or savings for people with low incomes in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
GBF supports "High Impact Businesses" in emerging markets to drive economic development and improve local standards of living. GBF supports them through a combination of long-term investment capital and tailored business advisory services. The "High Impact Businesses" provide sustainable economic opportunities to millions of people in low-income communities; their work empowers the poor in developing countries. With support from over a dozen governments, foundations and private individuals, GBF successfully closed a $49,000,000 private investment fund and have raised an additional $12,000,000 in grants from donors to benefit the non-profit arm of GBF. This positions us well to pursue our mission to build and support High Impact Businesses, while also generating a financial return to the private investment fund. Together, the fund and non-profit help our clients scale, and provide sustainable economic opportunities to millions of people in low income communities.
