key information

problem statement

In this age of global crisis, philanthropy has evolved beyond chequebook donations. Discerning social investors understand that we must seek sustainable solutions to the escalating problems facing our society.  Charitable donations, however well-meaning, are most often a temporary reprieve for cash-strapped charities struggling for survival.  Moreover, all the money that is available for charitable contributions is but a drop in an ocean of need.  New sources of capital must be unlocked in order to finance sustainable models for driving social and environmental change.

solution

Heart Social Investments (HSI) is looking to unlock substantial amounts of capital to fund promising startup social enterprises. These social enterprises are innovative, market based solutions to social, environmental and economic problems in the community.  These businesses, given their startup status and social focus, cannot access funding through traditional channels in order to finance their operations.  HSI's primary objective is to create a capital structure that is capable of helping these social enterprises drive long-lasting social change.  HSI's team of socially minded financial service professionals is trained to provide help investors get the most social and financial impact from of their social investment or donation.
