World Impact Foundation

About us

World Impact Foundation provides creative financial support for organizations working to eradicate poverty. Our approach is one part grant-making and one part capital with full investment into changemakers working to provide access to education, energy, food solutions, healthcare, housing, and water.

Creating Impact, Through Sustainability

Our Mission

• To increase affordable access to basic services for low-income populations in order to achieve equality, safety, health, and human potential.
• Enable holistic community development through grassroots organizations, which utilize people-centered approaches, backed by evidence, to create systemic change in basic service solutions.
• Promote economic development within low-income communities to eradicate poverty.
• Cultivate collaboration across social, public, and private sectors.

How We Serve

Our approach is not simply philanthropy. We use numerous forms of capital to support innovative organizations eradicating poverty. We support both non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and for-profit social enterprises working to promote affordable access to resources for communities across the sectors of education, energy, food, agriculture, healthcare, housing and water. 

Building Partnerships Through Grants & Investments 

GRANTS

Our partnerships with NGOs allow us to work together to achieve efficient and long term impact for women, children and whole communities. We enable NGOs to grow in their efficiency and service offerings to fully meet the needs of their target population. We primarily focus on supporting NGOs with the scale of income generation streams to operate as social enterprise models and reduce reliance on grant revenues.

INVESTMENTS

We invest in social enterprise organizations already promoting groundbreaking solutions to access basic services. These partners face the challenge of scaling their tested models of social impact without necessary working capital available to them. Often due to a lack of track record, assets or small capital needs. By offering support to entrepreneurs at this challenging point of expansion in scale, we aim to increase the reach of products and services for the world’s poor. Through access to affordable basic services we promote the dignity of the individual and economic growth for the community.
