OUR SERVICES
Innovative Finance

With ongoing and significant decreases in donor funding, combined with the transition of USAID’s programs to the Department of State, the need for innovation to drive positive impact is greater than ever. We help mission-driven organizations design innovative financial structures that multiply the power of every dollar and align finance with impact.
​
When it comes to the innovative finance space, we know how to cut through the hype, jargon, and fads by first asking: what are you trying to accomplish?
We specialize in structuring, drafting, and negotiating:​
-
Loan guarantees to mobilize private capital;
-
Blended finance deals to de-risk private investment;
-
Creative structuring of grant funding, including recoverable grants to recycle existing funds for greater financial sustainability;
-
Social and development impact bonds; and
-
Other innovative finance mechanisms suited to the development and broader impact space.
