The grant is part of a larger project by TPF to enhance impact data, metrics, and measurement to foster a more equitable and sustainable economic system.

The Tipping Point Fund on Impact Investing (TPF) has awarded a grant to ANDE to help small and growing businesses (SGBs) navigate the complex and evolving landscape of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting.

This generous funding will enable us to develop guidance and case studies specifically tailored to the needs of SGBs, which often lack the resources and expertise of larger corporations. Our goal is to empower SGBs to not only comply with international corporate ESG reporting regulations but also to leverage these regulations as a powerful tool for growth and impact, opening up new possibilities for their future.

“We are honored to be among the eight organizations selected by the Tipping Point Fund for this critical work,” said Devin Chesney, Interim Executive Director at ANDE. “SGBs that engage with corporate supply chains play a crucial role in driving sustainable development and building a more inclusive global economy. This grant will allow us to ensure SGBs can access the support they need to thrive in an increasingly regulated and ESG-focused market.” 

“Impact transparency and impact accountability are essential ingredients for nudging our financial systems toward greater equity and sustainability,”

The TPF is a donor collaborative committed to supporting public goods that are critical to the continued growth of the impact investing market. This round of grants, totaling approximately $1.14 million to be distributed among eight different organizations, is focused on enhancing impact data, metrics, and measurement to foster a more equitable and sustainable economic system.

“Impact transparency and impact accountability are essential ingredients for nudging our financial systems toward greater equity and sustainability,” said Fran Seegull, Executive Director of the TPF and President of the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance. “This round of grants supports work that will help ensure that companies, asset managers, asset owners, and other market stakeholders are held responsible for their social and environmental impacts.”

ANDE is committed to empowering SGB ecosystems to create positive social and environmental impact. This grant from the TPF will allow us to make significant progress in this area by helping SGBs navigate the complexities of ESG reporting.
