Grassroots Business Fund operates as a global investment organization with a strong presence in East Africa.
With offices in Washington, DC, and Nairobi, Kenya, we’ve positioned our teams close to the entrepreneurs and communities we support, with Nairobi serving as our regional hub for investment operations, technical assistance, and portfolio management across the continent.
We finance and support enterprises that create jobs, strengthen value chains, and reach underserved markets.
We apply the same discipline to impact investing that others apply to commercial finance.
20 years in this space has taught us what works. We adapt our approach as conditions change.
The businesses we back employ people, pay suppliers, and serve customers who have few alternatives.
Our team, board, and partners reflect the markets we serve.
