Better a little late than never, our 2021 year in review is hot off the press! If we're honest (which we always are!), it was a slog of a year. We still managed to make $30M in new commits across 20+ transactions. More to come in 2022!

A big congrats to the team @60_decibels! We have been an investor, client, and advocate for many years now and could not be more excited for this next chapter of their growth. Listening to customers & beneficiaries at scale is the essence of putting impact first!
We’re so excited to announce the close of our Series A. We’ve raised $8.8M from @FPECapital to enable listening at scale for global stakeholder engagement & impact measurement. Thank you to @Acumen, @ceniarth, and @StichtingDOEN for helping us get here.

Few people have been impact-first champions longer than @jnovogratz @acumen. Proud to stand alongside her in calling for the #impinv sector to do more, to center on impact as opposed to returns, and to truly reach the world's most vulnerable communities!

Very proud to have anchored this new impact-first facility managed by our long-time partner @GPSocialImpact. $8m in low cost, catalytic capital + $37.5M in senior debt from @DFCgov = the definition of how blended finance is supposed to work to support vulnerable communities.
Global Partnerships raises $45.5M impact-first debt fund for the COVID economic recovery. The fund will focus in particular on social enterprises serving women and the rural poor.

"Most impact reporting comes up short: It serves as a self-affirming indicator of good efforts rather than an objective view of performance".. no easy path to "impact" answers, but proud that @60_decibels is a partner helping us ask the right questions!

"we need to redefine what investing for impact looks like in every layer of our portfolio, including those intentionally designed for lower financial returns.".... a thoughtful piece from our friends & frequent collaborators @OpenRoadTweets.
"...just because one chooses to put impact first does not mean financial returns can’t exist. But are these financial returns ‘market-rate’? And what about the ‘impact returns’ of these investments, are those market-rate too?"

Learn more about how we're using blended finance as a key catalytic (totally overused, but genuinely true in this case) tool! Thanks to @ConvergenceBF for everything you all do to educate & connect the blended finance universe.
