Impact Investment Funds in Canada

DISE III, a gender lens investment fund, offers flexible mezzanine instruments tailored to the needs of small and medium sized clean energy projects, unlocking the hard-to-find resources necessary to accelerate the transition to a green and sustainable energy future. We are committed to generating meaningful and measurable social and environmental benefits with a focus on advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting Climate Action, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth. As a pioneering gender lens investor in the region, we identify and support projects committed to advancing inclusive and equitable business practices. We ensure every project adheres to international best practices for environmental and social risk management.
The Fund seeks aggregate equity commitments totaling US$150 million to invest in ~15 sustainable generation and energy efficiency infrastructure projects via tailored equity and mezzanine structures. This includes up to $30 million of concessionary capital to incubate and catalyze early-stage development opportunities. We will emphasize smaller economies and less established sustainable energy markets where we have deep expertise, so the selected geography for deployment is Latin America and the Caribbean with strong emphasis on Central America and Caribbean Basin.
