Grassroots is becoming a Public Benefit Corporation!

On July 17th, Grassroots attended the signing of Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) legislation by Delaware Governor Jack Markell in Wilmington.  Delaware is the 18th state to create a PBC form, and by far the most important given Delaware's unique position as a leading state for incorporations and leadership in corporate law. Grassroots is among the first companies that will convert to the new structure and has changed its name to Grassroots Capital Management, PBC, effective August 1. Grassroots has been a certified B Corporation since 2008 and our funds are GIIRS Pioneer Fund Managers. Becoming a PBC helps Grassroots preserve its mission and ensure that the interests and rights of all our stakeholders are protected, contributing to a better, more just world.  

Grassroots is looking for a Summer Intern

Grassroots Capital Management makes social investments globally that have both a financial and social return. Currently, Grassroots and its partners manage/advise five impact investment funds covering predominantly microfinance as well as small medium enterprise, affordable housing, and sustainable agriculture sectors.  Grassroots is looking for a short term intern to help develop pipelines of MFIs and investors. In undertaking this research, the intern can expect to develop a good familiarity with MFIs around the world with varying degrees of financial and social performance, the networks and resources that support them, and the investor communities that are engaging with the microfinance industry.
