Who are we?
Angels of Impact is a "charitable purpose" enterprise founded in 2016 that is dedicated to investing in women-led, community-based, & sustainable enterprises in order to create an equitable and sustainable world. We envision a future in which gender equity and sustainability are at the forefront of all communities and businesses, beginning with a focus on Southeast Asia. With public and private partners, we move the needle in stewarding philanthropic dollars towards a new form of inclusive finance for women supporting people and the planet. Ultimately, we believe women have the power to turbocharge the global economy, while building sustainable and climate resilient communities.
Whom do we support?
We support "missing middle" women-led, community based & sustainable enterprises i.e. those that are too big for microfinance and too small for most impact investors. Specifically, we focus on enterprises that support at least 50 women in their workforce or supply chain, have fair wages and sustainable manufacturing/consumption practices and produce quality sustainable products and services. These enterprises also bring together the efforts of other women in their community and create lasting, systemic value. We also do prioritize those who also preserve folk and indigenous sustainable cultural practices.
what do we do?
We offer low-cost loans (from our Evergreen Fund) and customized capacity building through our WISE
(Women Impacting Social Entrepreneurship) program over 3- 12 month period.
Ultimately, we aim to strengthen the financial literacy and financial management of these enterprises to make them fundable. We invest in them for their first and second rounds, making them more creditworthy to other financial sources for long term sustainability. Our end goal is to get them credit worthy to other investors or help them increase their revenues to fund their own growth.

"The world of humanity is possessed of two wings: the male and the female. So long as these two wings are not equivalent in strength, the bird will not fly. Until womankind reaches the same degree as man, until she enjoys the same arena of activity, extraordinary attainment for humanity will not be realized; humanity cannot wing its way to heights of real attainment.
