Summary: Supports catalytic investments and field-building grants to address social and environmental challenges and advance inclusive finance globally.
The MacArthur Foundation’s Impact Investments program provides catalytic capital to fill gaps left by conventional markets and unlock additional capital for mission-driven intermediaries and enterprises. New investments are developed with MacArthur program teams and investment partners to advance the Foundation’s institutional priorities. Investment priorities span community-centered development in Chicago, clean energy in India and the United States, Indigenous economic power, housing stability, local news, and film and media.
Complementary field support grants strengthen and grow impact investing globally. These grants build knowledge and use of catalytic capital, support investor networks and collaboration, strengthen standards and impact measurement, inform public policy, and advance equity and inclusion in investing and finance.
