How does Grassroots Business Fund’s work differ from that of other social enterprise development initiatives and microfinance institutions?
Grassroots Business Fund addresses a gap in the growing field of sustainable social enterprise development. GBF supports High Impact Businesses that have the potential to scale and generate economic opportunities for millions at the base of the pyramid, but which have not been able to access the support of the private sector. In addition, GBF pairs patient capital investments with a hands-on, targeted capacity building program to scale these businesses in an effective, sustainable way.
