Growth Grants

Impact Investment Ready Growth Grant

The Impact Investment Ready Growth Grant program, funded by the Department of Social Services Sector Readiness Fund, provided impact businesses and mission-driven organisations with grants for business, financial, legal and other capacity building support for providers to secure investment.

The program recognised the potential for impact investing to change the way Australia addresses social issues and the important role that access to capital can play in delivering better outcomes for people and communities.

Over 70 organisations were supported on their journey to investment readiness (from the Growth Grant program’s launch in 2015 up to 2023).
