GreaterCapital and The South African Impact Investing Network are part of a global initiative being spearheaded by the Global Federation for Social Investment Exchanges that aims to build a global picture to make visible the various actors in the impact investment sector.

This is the first stage of a global mapping of the investors, intermediaries, asset managers, ancillary services providers, research houses, analysts, brokers and other related services providers within the broadly defined area of impact investing. Impact investing is here regarded as including the full range of activity - from grant making to charitable initiatives or social enterprises to financial investment in high social impact investment opportunities that give varying levels of financial return.

Through this mapping we aim to create a searchable directory of global players active in the field of social investment in order to support consolidation and coherence within the overall social capital market, and make available to investors, donors and other interested parties detailed and easily accessible information on appropriate service providers who can meet their investment or grant making requirements.

Completion of this survey will enable your company, social business or organisation to be listed on the SAIIN and GSIX mapping site and will enable users of the site to search and find your institution based on what type of organisations you are, where you are located, where you focus your investment and/or development activities. Once they find you on the map or by searching for your name, they can view a basic profile on your organization and contact you directly.

This is a detailed survey that will enable us to gain a broad understanding of all the actors in the market and periodically produce and distribute reports on aggregated data to the various participants. The only information that will be made available to the public will be drawn from the more detailed profile you create, and will include contact information, your location and regions in which you work and a brief description of your work.

Please feel free to email us at info@saiin.co.za if you have any questions regarding this mapping exercise.
