Partnerships
Join forces with us to make finance work better for charities and social enterprises.
Why partnerships matter
Access works with partners to deliver the change we want to see – an investment ecosystem that works for all charities and social enterprises.
Although we have significant resources, we’re a small team working in a complex environment to create significant long-term change. We cannot, and should not, do this alone.
Our success hinges on working with partners to accelerate change, multiplying investment and improving the finance available to charities and social enterprises.
We collaborate with a wide range of partners – from private investors to public bodies and philanthropic organisations.
We currently work with over 120 partners to unlock the finance and support that charities and social enterprises need.
Types of partnerships
Social investors and enterprise support providers
Access works with all shapes and sizes of social investors and enterprise support providers to deliver finance and support to charities and social enterprises. We also fund initiatives that strengthen the social investment market.
Foundations and grant makers
Access works with foundations and grantmakers in various ways. We co-invest directly or connect them with our delivery partners. Beyond this, we seek to align our approaches - for example, by promoting enterprise grants, raising awareness of blended finance benefits, or encouraging responsible investment practices.
Capital providers
Access works closely with several capital providers, often utilising our grant as first-loss capital in blended finance structures.
