Vision
A world where equitable access to capital empowers small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to bring sustainable health solutions to underserved communities and underfunded health sectors.
Mission
To catalyze sustainable health and well-being solutions in low- and middle-income countries by making mission-first investments in SMEs that are driving innovation and impact with locally-led solutions.
Model
Funding Model
HIP's charitable funding model bridges impact investing and philanthropy by pooling donations to HIP and making charitable donations/grants and charitable investments in for- and nonprofit social enterprises and charitable organizations that are improving equitable access to healthcare and have a path to financial sustainability.
Partnering Model
HIP helps social enterprises and charitable organizations to design and implement innovative partnerships across the public, civil society and private health sectors that draw on the strengths of each and unlock unique funding opportunities.
Social Enterprise Funding Model Overview
Raise
We pool tax-deductible donations from a broad base of foundations, companies and individuals.
Invest
We make mission-first investments and performance-based grants in social enterprises ready to scale their post-proof of concept, market-oriented businesses in health and well-being.
Reap
Our investments accelerate sustainable improvements in health outcomes, catalyze further investments by others, and deliver increased social return on every donation.
Amplify
By investing investment returns and new donations back into our mission, HIP creates a virtuous cycle of investment and re-investment that compounds the social return on donations, accelerating sustainable improvements in access to health and well-being.
About
HIP is a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN#: 83-1438556) founded to accelerate sustainable improvements in health and well-being in underserved communities. Focusing initially on SubSaharan Africa, we make mission-first investments that support private sector health enterprises that are providing sustainable, integrated solutions that fill gaps in access to basic healthcare goods and services in their communities.
We do this through innovative approaches to funding and partnering.
Our funding model focuses on social enterprises and charities that are improving access to healthcare in communities at or near the base of the income pyramid.
HIP also assists social enterprises and charitable organizations to structure and implement innovative partnerships across the public, civil society and private health sectors that help them achieve their potential for sustainable impact.
Team
Partner with us
As a Donor Partner
Your tax-deductible (in the US) donations provide HIP with its charitable investment capital and operating funds.
By making investments in health impact and reinvesting any returns in new investments, HIP provides donors with a more diversified approach to philanthropy that can improve the social return on each donation beyond what can be achieved by grant-making alone.
Join us in supporting enterprises that are successfully pursuing locally led, private sector solutions to the biggest health challenges faced by underserved communities in low-and middle-income countries.
As a Co-Investor Network Member
Today's social enterprises require support from a range of stakeholders.
If your organization invests in or provides in-kind support to social healthcare enterprises in developing countries, join our Co-investor Network.
HIP accelerates its impact by co-investing with other organizations and initiatives, including corporate volunteerism programs.
As a Social Enterprise Investee
If you are a social enterprise with an impact-driven, market-based business in a low-medium-income country that fits the profile below, we would like to learn more about your organization;
You provide health or well-being related products or services in an underfunded health sector or underserved community;
Your enterprise has successfully emerged beyond proof of concept seed stage with a business model that has been successfully generating revenue and has the potential to achieve its potential for growth and scale; and
