Yes, donations from public and private entities and individuals are welcome and can be made here.
No. The Joint SDG Fund is not an investment vehicle or a Fund with a portfolio of equities, debt and other instruments. You can invest in the financial products and vehicles established by the Fund’s grantees. We support the creation of products you can invest in.
As a UN entity, the Joint SDG Fund provides grants to consortia of UN agencies in countries or regions to build innovative, SDG oriented financial instruments in developing countries. While we do not invest directly in companies or projects, the financial instruments we support do. To see which Joint SDG Fund supported instruments are active in your region or focus area, visit our Portfolio and Impact Areas pages.
A lot. We need the support of visionary entrepreneurs and investors and the general public. You can mentor/coach our grantees’ teams by joining our investors advisory groups or you can be an ambassador with your peers. We also need donations, intent to invest in the instruments supported by our programmes, and capital for the instruments that are on the market to deliver on our mission and the SDGs. It is a marathon, not a sprint. We also have partnerships with academic institutions, philanthropies, and others. We are open to new and innovative partnerships as well. If you are interested in partnering with us, check out our partnership page to see our existing partnerships and who to contact to express your interest.
Yes! There are currently four Joint SDG Fund supported financial instruments on the market. Two of these instruments are currently open for investment.

Different roles. From the expression of interest to a specific investment, to the management of financial vehicles proposed by grantees. Have a look at our website and speak with us. Our grantees have multiple partners from wealth management firms to banks and impact investors.
