Truss Fund provides emergency loans to social enterprises in emerging markets so they can keep their impact on track. The fund is designed for enterprises that have been especially hard-hit by COVID-19 virus and is exclusive to enterprises that are small, growing, have demonstrated previous success and are key to driving solutions to end poverty and protect the planet. COVID-19 has impacted many of these small and promising enterprises, and the Truss Fund provides funding to help them rebound from the pandemic. All Truss Fund recipients have substantial and continuous impact delivery, have additional sources of investment, and demonstrate a justifiable need for funding with a credible plan for repayment.
SWAHA is inspired by the Truss Fund’s global reach and their comprehensive vetting process. The enterprises that are selected for funding are providing valuable solutions and services in their communities that touch upon all SWAHA’s core concerns – education, environment and human rights. Investing in the Truss Fund has allowed SWAHA to broaden and deepen our impact, while generating a sustainable investment for our foundation.
