Citi Impact Fund

We are leveraging our strength as Citi to bring more access to more people in more places.

Our Story
The $500 million Citi Impact Fund was launched in 2020, born out of a recognition that early-stage venture impact investing can play a meaningful role in advancing social progress. We use our own capital to make equity investments in "double bottom line" U.S.-based private sector companies that are applying innovative solutions to help address some of society's most pressing challenges.

We actively seek opportunities to invest in companies that are led or owned by women and minority entrepreneurs to help combat persistent gaps in access to capital.
