OUR WORK
Beneficial Returns is a debt fund that provides capital asset financing to leading social enterprises that eliminate poverty and protect the natural environment in Latin America and South East Asia
What we do
We bridge the gap between investors and social enterprises who are in the best position to solve society’s biggest challenges, but find it most difficult to secure long-term funding
We pool funds from impact investors, private and corporate foundations, faith-based organizations and Donor Advised Funds and provide loans of $50,000 to $500,000 that enable emerging markets social enterprises to acquire revenue-producing or cost-reducing equipment to increase the scale and pace of their impact.
Loans are assessed for both impact and credit by Beneficial Returns’ eight-member credit committee of volunteers with extensive experience in business and social enterprise, banking, philanthropy, structured finance, law, and international development.
