We look for bold, innovative ideas with the potential for outsized impact. Through Propel Opportunity we support social enterprises with innovative grassroots approaches to alleviating poverty. Our partners create solutions that directly affect millions of lives and forge paths for more just systems, policies, and markets. In the early years of Propel Opportunity, we also provided patient and risk-tolerant investment capital for values-driven fund managers with new models to catalyze more capital into the field of impact investing.

We take risks. We know the best ideas require imagination and persistence. That’s why we are willing to engage early, take on more risk, and provide patient capital. By doing so, we believe we can spur innovation and pave the way for others to use their assets for impact.

We prioritize close collaboration with our partners. We know this work is hard and that succeeding requires more than capital. That’s why we roll up our sleeves to problem solve alongside our partners, often taking on a role as an advisor or Board member. To enable this in-depth engagement, we work closely with a small number of organizations at a time and initiate new partnerships on a limited basis.
