Global Partnerships Social Investment Model*

Global Partnerships thinks about social capital along a continuum, with grant support occupying one end of the spectrum and market-rate investments positioned at the opposite end. In between these two outposts lie a variety of social investment tools, including guarantees, recoverable grants, program-related and mission-related investments.

Global Partnerships' debt fund social investment model allows a range of socially motivated investors to participate according to their philanthropic intent and financial goals. Our fund investors include donors seeking a catalytic role with their gift, foundations aiming to align more of their institution’s assets with their social mission, and qualified individual and institutional investors pursuing a fixed-income return.

Once we build a fund, we loan that capital to select, socially focused microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Latin America. Fund highlights include:

  • History of 100 percent on-time and in-full payments to investors
  • On the ground due diligence and monitoring performed by seven-person staff based in Nicaragua
  • Extensive risk management delivered through innovative fund structure, partner selection and geographic diversification
  • Deployment of more than $30 million in affordable financing for our partner microfinance institutions since 2005
