Our mission is to help eliminate poverty and strengthen communities through investments in small businesses, affordable housing, sustainable agriculture and education, in both developing countries and the US. Our philosophy is to ‘invest in our values’.

We seek out and collaborate actively with others with shared values. Since 2003 Grassroots (GCM) has launched a dozen impact investment vehicles in partnership with a wide range of investors and managers.

We currently manage/advise three funds: India Financial Inclusion Fund and Caspian Impact Investments in India in collaboration with our partner Caspian Impact Investment Advisers and Prospero Microfinanzas in Latin America with Bolivian Investment Management.
