Why Invest?

There’s never been a more important time to challenge the reliance on grant culture. Achieving social change, while supporting local economies to grow, is the sustainable solution.

Social enterprises not only fuel jobs and local economies, they in turn offer services and solutions to society’s challenges.

Key Fund invests in social enterprises with:

  • A clear social or environmental impact
  • A robust business model
  • A strong team with capability to deliver
