Without a doubt, the past two years have been difficult for many people and communities across the globe. Yet, from these challenges we see opportunity. Opportunities to grow communities in a more sustainable way. Especially, distressed communities who have suffered the most and continue to face additional hurdles during the recovery process. Impact investors can now be sure their investments are investing in a better future.
Governments, business owners, and investors around the world came to recognize the necessity of cooperation and investment when dealing with threats such as Covid-19, war, and poverty. From these challenges, the FundingHope business model was born.
FundingHope connects investors with small business owners and entrepreneurs contributing to sustainable development practices in distressed communities. Addressing the needs of those most in need is a central part of community transformation and investment in building a cleaner, healthier, safer future for us all.
The FundingHope investment crowdfunding platform will make it easier for investors to discover opportunities in distressed communities and for entrepreneurs and small businesses to connect with investors at more favorable terms than previously available to them.
Investing in campaigns on FundingHope will bring new jobs, opportunity, direction, and investment to drive innovation and development in distressed communities in the United States and around the world.
Our focus is aimed squarely at what we think are the four most pressing areas of global concern. These are: Health and Wellness, a Sustainable Environment, Equity, and Industrial Leadership including Renewable Energy.
Human health is not only a medical concern. It is also about how livelihoods and wellbeing can be affected by seemingly unrelated events.
Environmental sustainability also has profound implications. Locally produced foods make the entire world less reliant on the world’s major producers. Growing local innovation to produce more and better foods will reduce poverty, eliminate hunger, and reduce shortages of wheat and water. Investing locally and advancing innovation in challenged communities can revolutionize agriculture and increase food security in food desserts.
While most of the world begins to embrace renewable energy, FundingHope intends to lead in driving renewable energy investment into distressed communities and building more resilient power grids as part of an effective energy transition. FundingHope works with regional economic development agencies to identify innovative and game-changing companies in distressed communities that are addressing energy strategy and energy security.
FundingHope works closely with governments, NGOs, and economic development agencies in economically challenged communities to connect their most pioneering businesses with investors who want to make an impact and build more sustainable businesses that improves the future. We imagine a future of improved urban and rural development that is humancentric and aims to achieve zero carbon. These “Cognitive Communities” are crucial to improving the quality of life for citizens in the US and around the world.
FundingHope aims to supercharge sustainable investment, with a unique focus on addressing challenges in distressed communities. Today, investment in SDG-related sectors in distressed communities and low- middle- income countries (LMICs)face an average annual funding gap of nearly $3 trillion USD, and investment in these communities remains substantially below the levels required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.
FundingHope’s commitment to the mission of achieving UN SDG targets addresses the challenges that lie ahead and brings hope too. Together, we can bridge the gap to a better future for humanity.
