Our Mission
We support for profit and non-profit social enterprises from Atlanta area by offering affordable loans to cover their short-term financing needs
Goizueta Impact Investors (GII) was originally founded as a student-run microfinance fund at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. Beginning around 2013, GII expanded the scope of its investment strategy to include direct debt investments in organizations that address an intractable social need and serve a common good, either through products and services or through employing underprivileged populations. The primary purpose of the loans is to set borrowers on a path towards growth as well as self-sufficiency or access to more traditional sources of credit, while generating a net profit for the borrowers and GII.
Apart from this, GII also aims to:
-
Educate the Goizueta community about the opportunity to use finance as a tool for business development and positive social outcomes
-
Provide an opportunity for Goizueta students to learn about the impact investing space while participating in established investment processes
