Boston Impact Initiative is a social impact investment fund that supports enterprises in the Greater Boston area which address the growing wealth gap and ecological challenges. The fund provides integrated capital solutions, including loans, equity investments, and grants, to businesses that demonstrate a positive social and environmental impact.

Boston Impact Initiative (BII) is a nonprofit impact investing fund working to build a future where entrepreneurs of color and their communities have the financial, social and political power to create a sustainable, inclusive and equitable economy for generations to come. We invest in the people, places, and enterprises in and beyond Massachusetts who share our vision of an equitable economy and need access to catalytic capital. In doing so, we’re helping communities of color build productive capacity, fuel entrepreneurial growth and wealth creation, share in decision-making, multiply impact, and together, help close the racial wealth divide.
