About Global Impact Investing Network
Global Impact Investing Network Inc uses challenge-style grants to support projects tied to impact investing infrastructure, with 2024 awards ranging from $16,650 to $61,650. The grant list is centered on the NCP IDEA GRANT CHALLENGE, which points to a preference for targeted, project-based support rather than open-ended operating funding. Recipients include New Venture Foundation, which received the largest recent grant at $61,650, and The Shareholder Commons Inc, which received $50,000. The pattern suggests a funder working through research, convenings, and implementation-oriented partnerships to advance impact investing practice. Its latest grants also reached organizations focused on climate finance, racial justice, and policy-oriented work, indicating that the foundation’s interest in impact investing extends into specific issue areas where capital, measurement, and organizational design intersect. With annual grants of $335,800 and assets of $15,751,354, it operates at a modest grantmaking scale relative to its balance sheet, using a concentrated set of awards to back selected initiatives. Leadership is listed under Amit Bouri.
What Global Impact Investing Network Funds
Climate finance appears directly in the 2024 grant list: Global Impact Investing Network Inc gave $45,000 to Climate Finance for the NCP IDEA GRANT CHALLENGE. That aligns with its broader focus on climate solutions and clean energy within impact investing. The foundation also backed place-based and equity-oriented work. It awarded $45,000 to Racial Justice Coalition of Asheville for the same challenge, showing interest in projects where capital strategy intersects with community priorities. A $27,500 grant to Policy Link suggests attention to policy and systems change as part of the investment ecosystem. Housing and financial-system themes are present in the existing focus areas, and the recent list includes organizations such as Possibility Labs and Amalgamated Foundation, both funded through the challenge format. Across these awards, the common thread is support for initiatives that help test, refine, or scale impact-investing approaches.
How Global Impact Investing Network Gives
Typical grants cluster tightly around the mid-$40,000 range, with a p25 of $40,625, a median of $45,000, and a p75 of $46,250. That narrow spread suggests a standardized award approach, with one larger outlier at $61,650 and a smaller award at $16,650. The foundation is a Regular Funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent record shows a single 2024 challenge-based grant series, so the available data points to project-specific awards rather than a recurring operating grant pattern across multiple years.
