IMPACT IS A JOURNEY
Don’t let roadblocks get in your way.
Keeping Impact on Track
Social entrepreneurs are not immune to the unpredictable, despite the best laid plans. Open Road offers fast, flexible, and affordable funding—both grants and loans—to organizations facing discrete, unforeseen financing gaps that threaten to derail their work.
Multiplied Returns
By stepping in with a small investment at the right moment, we keep critical projects moving forward. Our Open Road Impact Fund offers investors the opportunity to have outsized impact while still collecting a return on investment. For each dollar invested, Open Road returns $9 in impact.
The Impact Fund
A Decade of Impact
So much can happen in a decade. In the past 10 years, Open Road has disbursed more than $68 million, including $50 million in loans. In the next three years, we are poised to deploy another $50 million in loans, alone.
Need Funding?
We’ll help you through it.
Our loans and climate grants are designed to keep social enterprises moving toward impact. If you think that you are eligible for a one-time Open Road loan or grant, we’d love to hear from you.
