Growth Impact Fund
Overview
A fund combining technical assistance grants (UnLtd) and investment (Big Issue Invest) to support social purpose organisations.
Grants (£5k–£15k) help organisations become investment-ready, while investments through equity, revenue participation agreements, and debt support scalable enterprises tackling inequality.
It uses funding from Flexible Finance for the Recovery to enable the provision of long-term, flexible investment products, particularly for organisations where financial returns are uncertain or lower than conventional investment thresholds.
