ABOUT BOSTON IMPACT INITIATIVE (BII)

We invest integrated capitalequity, debt and grantsin social enterprises and community-owned and controlled real estate to build wealth and asset-building opportunities, especially in diverse communities.

BII also offers impact investing education and training. Through our Advancing Regenerative Capital (ARC) Fellowship, we have trained 70 fund managers from 30 organizations to launch community-based impact funds focused on expanding shared ownership and generational wealth in communities systematically excluded from economic opportunity. To date, 22 funds have launched that have deployed over $12M to diverse small businesses across the U.S.
