GIF Growth Fund

Compiled from public sources

GIF Growth is a permanent, blended-finance debt vehicle established by the Global Innovation Fund (GIF) to bridge the "missing middle" financing gap facing high-impact, early- to mid-growth-stage enterprises in emerging markets. Having moved past the early development and pilot-testing phases of its parent fund, this specialised vehicle deploys flexible debt instruments to scale proven, creditworthy business models that traditional commercial lenders often deem too risky. With a target size of $100 million and a mission to improve 100 million lives, the fund is sector-agnostic across low- and middle-income countries but strategically prioritises scaleups driving measurable outcomes in climate adaptation and resilience, social inclusion, and gender equality. The fund secured a first close of USD 50 million in July 2026 from several investors.
