Donor Impact Invest Fund

The Donor Impact Invest Fund (DIIF) is a Dutch fund focused on financing early-stage social enterprises. The organization aims to bridge the funding gap that many impact-driven startups face in the initial phase of their development, also known as the ‘valley of death’.

DIIF invests with capital that is entirely sourced from donations. This capital is used to support enterprises working on solutions in areas such as health, food, education, energy, and the circular economy, and that have the potential to create large-scale impact.

A distinctive feature of DIIF is the revolving structure of the fund. When investments are repaid, these resources are reinvested in other early-stage startups. In this way, donor money is used multiple times, increasing the impact of the available capital.

The organization focuses on enterprises where impact is central, thereby playing a role in enabling initiatives that would have difficulty accessing capital within a traditional financing structure.

With this combination of donor-driven capital and a reinvestment model, DIIF positions itself as a fund that contributes to the development and scaling of impactful enterprises at a crucial stage.
