Acumen Fund is working toward a world where every human being has access to the critical goods and services they need - affordable healthcare, water, housing, energy - so that they can make choices and pursue lives of greater purpose.  This is where dignity starts - not just for the poor but for everyone on earth.

We seek solutions to poverty that provide individuals with a better chance of solving their own problems. Since 2001, we have built over 35 businesses that have improved the lives of over 36 million people in India,  Pakistan and East Africa.   But we need to do more...

Help us invest in more entrepreneurs who are building transformative businesses that serve the poor, so that we can provide dignity, not depedence.  Choice, not charity. 

As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, Acumen Fund raises charitable funds to invest equity and debt in enterprises serving low-income people. While donors will not receive a financial return on funds donated, we believe that investing in market-based approaches to fighting poverty generates the highest available social return on your donations.
