Two Ways to Make an Impact
At TBN Americas, we believe business can be a powerful force for lasting change.
Across Central America and the Caribbean, we work to support businesses that tackle poverty, protect the environment, and create meaningful economic opportunities.
There are two key ways you can support this work: by providing capital directly to businesses or by helping prepare businesses to become investment-ready.
Support the Social Enterprise Capital Fund
Put capital directly into businesses creating meaningful impact.
The Social Enterprise Capital Fund channels philanthropic capital into impact-generating small and growing businesses across Central America.
These businesses are working to address social and environmental challenges while creating jobs and economic opportunities in their communities. Your contribution helps provide the capital they need to grow, strengthen their operations, and expand their impact.
The fund operates as an evergreen donor-advised fund, allowing capital to be deployed to support businesses over time.
Your support helps:
Provide growth capital to promising small and growing businesses.
Help businesses expand their operations and reach more customers.
Support job creation and economic opportunities.
Enable businesses to create lasting social and environmental impact.
Typical investment amounts: $30,000–$75,000.
Support TBN's Business Development Programs
Help businesses build the foundations for lasting growth.
Promising businesses need more than capital to grow. They also need the right guidance, expertise, resources, and support to strengthen their operations and reach their full potential.
Through TBN's business development initiatives, we work alongside entrepreneurs to help strengthen their businesses, build their capacity, and prepare them for opportunities to grow and create meaningful impact.
Your contribution helps support these initiatives, including our Investment Readiness Program, which helps businesses strengthen their foundations and prepare to engage with potential investors and funding partners.
Your support helps:
Strengthen business operations and organizational capacity.
Provide access to expertise, mentorship, and business development support.
Help entrepreneurs prepare for growth and investment opportunities.
Build stronger, more sustainable businesses that can create lasting social and environmental impact.
Together, we can help businesses build the capacity they need to grow and thrive.
