Even less explored is the realm of social finance.<\/p>\n<h4>So what is social finance?<\/h4>\n<p>Social finance is an approach to mobilizing private capital that delivers a social dividend and an economic return to achieve social and environmental goals. Mobilizing private capital for social good creates opportunities for investors to finance projects that benefit society and for community organizations to access new sources of funds.<\/p>\n<p>The term can include community investing,\u00a0microfinance,\u00a0investing in socially-responsible and sustainable businesses (such as B-Corps),\u00a0social impact bonds, and\u00a0social enterprise lending. A social investment is not a grant or donation; it\u2019s repayable, with interest.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-285\" src=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1.png 1597w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1-800x332.png 800w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1-400x166.png 400w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1-768x318.png 768w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1-1536x637.png 1536w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1-18x7.png 18w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Social-Finance-Continuum-1-500x207.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>Tapestry works specifically in the space of community investment. We make use of a social finance vehicle called a Community Bond. Simply put, a Community Bond, is an interest bearing loan from a community member. It could be for as little as $1000 or more than $1 million, but the bonds must always be repaid, providing a fair interest return <em>et<\/em>\u00a0a proven social or environmental benefit.<\/p>\n<p>To shed light on other tools across the social financing continuum, Tapestry brought in partners including:<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/vancitycommunityinvestmentbank.ca\/\">Vancity Community Investment Bank<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vancitycommunityinvestmentbank.ca\/\">Vancity<\/a> works exclusives with organizations and entrepreneurs that are working to solve environmental, social and economic challenges. Committed 100% to impact, Vancity offers project, portfolio, and business lending; impact capital transaction advisory services; and investment banking for community and environmental enterprises.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocf-fco.ca\/\">Ottawa Community Foundation<\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"title-heading-left\">Le <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocf-fco.ca\/\">Ottawa Community Foundation<\/a> (OCF) is a non-profit organization created by and for the people of Ottawa to connect people who care with causes that matter. OCF recently launched a new Impact Investing Strategy that will allow the Foundation to go beyond their traditional grant-making role by helping charitable and non-profit organizations access loans, guarantees and mortgages. Under the terms of the Strategy, OCF will allocate up to 10% of their endowment to impact investing.<\/p>\n<p>The Ottawa Community Foundation is also one of the lead investors in the Community Forward Fund, a fund which lends exclusively to charities, non-profits and social enterprises.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/paro.ca\/2013\/\">PARO Centre for Women&#8217;s Enterprise<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>As a not-for-profit social enterprise, <a href=\"https:\/\/paro.ca\/2013\/\">PARO<\/a> collaborates to\u00a0empower\u00a0women,\u00a0strengthen\u00a0small business and promote community\u00a0economic development\u00a0across Ontario. PARO has become well know for their Peer Circles &#8211; small groups of like-minded women who meet regularly to share their experiences, offer advice to each other and expand their individual and shared contact networks.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key elements of a Peer Circle is that members also provide access to micro-credit of between $500.00 and $5,000.00. Members of the Peer Circle are involved in the review and approval of a member&#8217;s PARO loan application before it is approved. Today PARO is one of the strongest peer lenders of small business loans in North America, supporting a diverse range of women who may have no or poor credit history, and no sources of equity.<\/p>\n<h5><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-277\" src=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/tapestrycapital.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5562-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/h5>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/csedottawa.ca\">Centre for Social Enterprise Development (CSED)<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/csedottawa.ca\">CSED<\/a> is a non-profit organization based in Ottawa that offers a wide range of services to social enterprises, including access to technical expertise, coaching, financing, learning communities, training, and cross-sector partnerships.
