About Good Finance
Good Finance is a collaborative project with a mission to be the trusted source of information on social investment for charities and social enterprises. It has an important role to play in building awareness and understanding of social investment in the UK. It is supported by Big Society Capital and Access as well as several other organisations committed to improving access to information on investment and finance for charities and social enterprises.
The Good Finance website is user led, designed for and by charities and social enterprises to enable them navigate the world of social investment. Alongside the website, we also have an offline offering. Good Finance runs a series of events across the country, which social investors can participate either as an attendees, speakers or exhibitors.
Good Finance’s mission is to be the trusted source of information on social investment for charities and social enterprises. Good Finance aims to meet the needs of charities and social enterprises by providing:
– Content that builds understanding on what social investment is and how it is used
– An investor, fund and adviser directory listing information on investors and funds
– Case studies that contextualise information on how organisations leverage social investment
Through our online and offline presence, we aim to:
– Improve knowledge of social investment, what it is, what it can be used for and the journey & process it requires
– Enable organisations to make informed decisions, based on their needs and situation, not on embedded attitudes
– Help connect organisations to the right investors to talk to, based on shared values
