Dear NIIF supporters,
Happy New Year! Because of you, we have raised over $5,000 and added over 40 new supporters to our community. At the heart of our work, we believe in empowering people and contributing to a more sustainable world. For us, empowerment is fundamentally about providing access to communities and finding efficiencies in markets for health services, financial tools, education, and environmental resources. Thanks to your generosity, the funds will support additional businesses in 2019 that have the potential to disrupt entire industries.
We invest in social enterprises that have strong revenue generation and impact creation and we are grateful for your continued support that will propel these companies forward.
Welcome to the community! Check back on our page to get updates about our investments!
Wishing you all the best for 2019

Thanks to our incredible community of donors, we are 15% of the way toward our goal of $30,000!
These funds will support an investment in a social enterprise and will also enable meaningful, experiential learning experiences for students at NYU’s business, policy, and law schools.
Below, two students from NYU's policy school share what they have learned from participating in NIIF.
“Being part of NIIF has been a great opportunity to approach the impact investment ecosystem from the side of the investors and understand the challenges that they and the social entrepreneurs face.”

"NIIF has been a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in impact investing. I have come to realize the challenges social enterprises face and how capital— the right amount at the right time—can help these kinds of organizations realize and expand their impact."
