About Us

Our History

The Grassroots Business Fund builds on four years of experience as the International Finance Corporation's Grassroots Business Initiative (GBI). As GBI, we undertook the initial work of piloting grassroots business investments and field- testing capacity-building approaches. 

Our Vision:

The Grassroots Business Fund strives to create a world where economic opportunity reaches everyone.

Our Mission:

To build and support High Impact Businesses that provide sustainable economic opportunities to millions of people at the base of the economic pyramid.

What We Do:

GBF provides investment capital and capacity building to high impact businesses in several developing countries across the globe. GBF’s global approach is to build and support these businesses, which provide sustainable economic opportunities to millions of people at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP). The businesses empower the poor in developing countries as independent entrepreneurs and consumers of affordable goods and services.

GBF actively supports High Impact Businesses throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America.
