To showcase the potential of catalytic capital to advance scalable and innovative solutions to some of the world’s most challenging problems, we partnered with The Rockefeller Foundation to launch the Zero Gap Fund in 2019. Six years later, the fund’s annual report shows it has mobilized over $1.05 billion in private finance for 12 high-impact investments that are supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

“The Zero Gap Fund is demonstrating the power of catalytic capital to drive impact across diverse sectors and geographies,” said Debra Schwartz, Managing Director, Impact Investments.

The Fund uses patient, risk-tolerant, and flexible capital to increase large-scale private investment in projects that range from creating jobs and mitigating carbon emissions, to supporting innovative agriculture.
