Aim — Acumen Fund (nonprofit) invests patient capital in a variety of institutions, reflecting the diversity of business models that can be effective in reaching the “base of the pyramid” (BoP)—or the billions of poor without access to clean water, reliable health services, or formal housing options.

More information — Eligible institutions for our financial support range from nonprofit organizations seeking to scale their operations and achieve financial sustainability, to small and medium for-profit companies in need of capital, to larger companies that are starting specific business units to serve the BoP.

Sectors — Water, Health, Housing, Energy and Agriculture
