The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the impact sector has reached natural disaster proportions in its scope and scale, which means that the global need for our ‘emergency’ capital vastly outstrips our available resources. Given this reality, we have decided to use our limited resources to best serve the sector under the following circumstances.

We recognize that not every situation will tie up neatly into a clear future cash flow. There are situations where simply “holding the line” of impact is deeply important. These are scenarios where clear and lasting damage will be done to the wider health of the community if a given organization does not stay afloat through this crisis. Potential areas of deep impact could include health care supplies, the safety of food chains, or critical communication services that allow frontline workers to share information.
