A New Capital Strategy
Jumpstarting a better collective future
Empowering fund managers
MDF Capital Partners is designed to close gaps for historically overlooked and underestimated impact fund managers by providing the right capital and right support at the right time. MDF Capital Partners addresses common barriers we have seen across dozens of impact fund raises for emerging managers, particularly gaps in proof, size, and timing. Because of these challenges, the fund focuses on supporting underrepresented impact fund managers and project sponsors by offering critical financing tools such as warehousing initial deals, co-investment, and subscription lines.
Together, we can accelerate inclusive and equitable access to capital for community capital initiatives.
Why invest?
Diversify the financial landscape: Empower fund managers from historically marginalized communities and underrepresented groups with tools for success they may not be able to access otherwise.
High-impact opportunities: Our platform provides creative credit products tailored to help meet the unique needs of these managers, helping them scale faster and more effectively.
Proven track record: Since 2016, Mission Driven Finance has provided intentionally inclusive credit products to fill market gaps and helped over 20 new impact fund strategies come to life by providing asset management infrastructure support.
Who we are supporting
Fund managers
- Primary focus on emerging managers with emphasis on those deploying products with community impact
- Managers across asset classes (venture, private credit, private equity, real estate)
Project sponsors
- Leaders / sponsors of community-focused projects who struggle to raise capital from traditional sources
- Focus on real-estate and infrastructure projects led by project sponsors of color
