Better a little late than never, our 2021 year in review is hot off the press! If we're honest (which we always are!), it was a slog of a year. We still managed to make $30M in new commits across 20+ transactions. More to come in 2022! ceniarthllc.com/wp-content/upl…

Has been a pleasure serving on @60_decibels Board since @ceniarth led spinout investment. A long journey from @Acumen's Pulse project (that I worked on as MBA intern in 2007) to today, but could not be prouder of what they do to keep our sector focused on customer voice & impact!
60 Decibels@60_decibels

We’re so excited to announce the close of our Series A. We’ve raised $8.8M from @FPECapital to enable listening at scale for global stakeholder engagement & impact measurement. Thank you to @Acumen, @ceniarth, and @StichtingDOEN for helping us get here. bit.ly/60dB-series-a

2021 @ceniarth year in review: detail (20 deals, $30M+ in commitments), hard truths (we lost some $, dealt w/ some bad egos), and complaints about the sector continuing to run ESG + finance-first victory laps. What else would you expect from us! impactalpha.com/ceniarth-seeks…

Amen from us @ceniarth. "Most impact investors have fallen into the trap of prioritizing returns over impact. They have failed to serve the hardest to reach markets and those that are most in need of such investment." The #impinv sector should resolve in 2022 to do more!
Acumen@Acumen

An ever-increasing demand for energy in developing nations can and should be met by renewable sources. The key lies in rethinking how capital is deployed. via Acumen's @jnovogratz in @ImpactAlpha impactalpha.com/to-address-cli…

Very proud to have anchored this new impact-first facility managed by our long-time partner @GPSocialImpact. $8m in low cost, catalytic capital + $37.5M in senior debt from @DFCgov = the definition of how blended finance is supposed to work to support vulnerable communities.

Global Partnerships raises $45.5M impact-first debt fund for the COVID economic recovery. The fund will focus in particular on social enterprises serving women and the rural poor. impactalpha.com/global-partner…

Thoughtful piece from our friends @ConvergenceBF. Blended finance is absolutely essential, particularly in vulnerable, underserved places. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good in these deals. And don't say we "distort markets" when the market is not serving people.

"We have exhausted ourselves, unsuccessfully, in search of impact-first peers. Perhaps, like many in search of existential answers and nowhere else to turn, we have found religion"... faith-based impact investors are proving to be a genuine & dedicated source of impact-first $!
ImpactAlpha@ImpactAlpha

In a guest post on ImpactAlpha, Diane Isenberg and Greg Neichin of the family office Ceniarth take on the shortage of “impact first” investors willing to tackle tough challenges with catalytic, including concessionary, capital. impactalpha.com/in-search-of-e…

Excited to see @60_decibels awarded support for a catalytic effort to bring greater impact insights and transparency to the financial inclusion space. We @ceniarth are providing additional funding too. Encourage MIVs and MFIs who want to get involved to get in touch!

Most times "scale" in our work @ceniarth is measured in 1000's of farmers or 1000's of small biz loans, but @GenerateCapital breaks all our usual gauges. Congrats to the team on a $2 billion (with a B!) raise that will further their mission in deploying climate solutions!
Scott Jacobs@scottiej1

The urgent need to deploy proven #climate solutions and get the world to a #NetZero pathway has never been greater. We are grateful to have a truly values-aligned set of investors committed to our mission of rebuilding the world cnbc.com/2021/07/19/gen…

Easy = "here’s the typical impact of these sorts of loans" Harder = identify top performers by differentiating between those who create outsized impact within a given category" Hopeful that harder @60_decibels questions lead us to impact-first answers. ssir.org/articles/entry…

"If you genuinely want to make an impact on society's most intractable problems, you need to be prepared to make financial sacrifices"... one year later and we're still ranting @ceniarth about impact-first, catalytic capital!
SOCAP Global@SOCAPmarkets

At SOCAP20 Virtual, @RPCKchintan, founding partner of RPCK, @YaseminLamy, Deputy CIO at @CDCGroup, and @gregneichin, director at @ceniarth, discussed the need for more investors to adopt this impact-first mindset, including by using catalytic capital. bit.ly/3hrlQLH

“As we slowly transition towards utopia, there’s a lot of shit to be dealt with... in the meantime, we’re just going to try and make people’s lives better on a day-to-day basis"... another Diane gem on our @ceniarth attitude towards revolutionary systems-change🤷‍♂️
ImpactAlpha@ImpactAlpha

Hundreds of Agents of Impact explored the range of strategies for moving family capital toward impact with Isenberg, including Sobrato Philanthropies’ Sheri Sobrato Brisson and Regan Pritzker of the Libra & Kataly foundations. Here's a recap of #TheCall: impactalpha.com/for-these-weal…
