Boann was created as a partnership between the Table of Impact Investment Practitioners (TIIP) and Community Impact Investments. Boann is backed by an initial $154 million contribution from the Government of Canada’s Social Finance Fund to support purpose driven investments.
How we invest
Boann invests in ideas and initiatives that bridge financial sustainability with high-impact, positive outcomes for people and the planet.
We are bringing new capital to Canada’s diverse sectors, communities and regions, building a strong national network of social finance intermediaries that foster equitable access to financing.
Boann is one of three wholesalers appointed through a competitive, merit-based process by the Government of Canada to invest a portion of the $755M Social Finance Fund (SFF), an initiative that seeks to accelerate the growth of Canada’s social finance market. The SFF supports charities, non-profits, social enterprises, co-operatives and other social purpose organizations (SPOs) in accessing flexible financing opportunities. Greater access to social finance through the SFF will help them grow, innovate, and enhance their social and environmental impacts.
