Social investment is the use of money to achieve a social as well as a financial return. By social return, we mean intentionally supporting meaningful social impact; by financial, we mean the return of at least most of the philanthropic capital you lend.
As an alternative to giving your charitable funds to one organisation, you can make a social investment loan to CAF Venturesome for 6-8 years. From our funds, we make flexible, affordable loans to social enterprises and charities and as the money is repaid, we lend it out to other social organisations so your money and social impact are multiplied again and again. At the end of the loan, we can repay the capital to your charitable trust account or you can recommit it for a further term. You can also choose to support CAF Venturesome with a grant.
