Establishing a Social Impact Fund
Establishing a Social Impact Fund
The Project
The SFI Group was a partner in establishing and operating an impact fund for Keren Hayesod. The fund’s goal is to create impact investment opportunities and promote a sustainable financial model. Our team surveyed the local ecosystem and identified investment opportunities in income-generating social ventures in need of funding.
The Impact
Two investment rounds with a cumulative investment amount of half a million dollars in education, employment, and housing projects were already announced, and are expected to finance social ventures with significant and measurable social impact. The fund is currently being expanded.
