Social Finance Fund (via Boann / Realize / CAP Finance)
ESDC via wholesale fund managers · Federal
In plain language
$755M federal social finance capital deployed through three wholesalers — Boann Social Impact ($154M), Realize Capital Partners, and CAP Finance — which then seed downstream impact funds. Social purpose organizations do not apply to ESDC; you apply to an impact fund capitalized by a wholesaler. Capital is repayable debt/equity/quasi-equity at concessional terms, not grant money. As of 2026 over $250M has reached 83+ SPOs. NL organizations: scout the Boann portfolio and find a fund whose thesis fits your sector. Multi-year commitment — not quick money.
