The Beneficial Returns debt fund provides capital asset financing to leading social enterprises that eliminate poverty and protect the natural environment in Latin America and South East Asia
HOW IT WORKS
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 the Beneficial Returns team and its eight-member volunteer credit committee having extensive experience in business and social enterprise, banking, philanthropy, structured finance, law, and international development.
