The Team

Established in 2009, the Foundation’s Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) was created to advance the organization’s philanthropic mission through the use of equity, debt, and guarantee investment tools. Since then, SIF has become a recognized leader in the impact investing space, completing more than 80 investments across a wide range of sectors and asset classes. SIF investments support the charitable objectives of the Foundation’s Program Strategy Teams (PSTs), which include technical experts from around the world.
