Overview

Guarantee Investment Value Strategies


Good Returns GIVS are an important innovation enabling capital to create sustainable, scalable social impact while targeting market-level returns with plannable liquidity.


Participants



Guarantors are key to the model, acting as the true facilitators of impact. They invest in a liquid low-volatility fund and pledge their holdings.
Capital partners provide low-cost or no-cost scaling capital to impact organizations.
Guarantors retain their capital plus return. Should a loan default occur, all guarantors share proportionally by making a charitable contribution from the fund.


How it works

Good Returns drives the process


Infrastructure and programming is provided by Good Returns. We build the impact network and perform due diligence on all Impact Organizations prior to executing the lending and guarantee process. Stakeholders receive an annual report complete with impact stories and measurements.
