Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV)

Amazonia Impact Ventures is an impact-first investment company dedicated to providing finance directly to sustainable enterprises in the Amazon rainforest. We empower Indigenous peoples and local communities in South America to protect and regenerate their forests and biodiversity and improve their livelihoods while they are harvesting local forest products, such as acai, Brazil nuts, coffee and cacao. Our performance-based financial incentives encourage sustainable land use, gender equality, and social inclusion. We also help our investees with structured technical assistance to implement nature-based solutions. We are all about mobilising private capital – and co-investing our own – in the stewards of the forest and impact-driven enterprises, delivering financial returns and real impact. Since 2020, we have been recognised for: - Emergent Impact Manager (2023) by Impact Assets; - Transformative Fund (2022) by Integrated Capital Investing; - Top Innovator (2021) by the World Economic Forum and the Tropical Forest Alliance. We recently received a grant from the Catalytic Climate Financial Facility 2023, a Convergence and Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) joint initiative. Connect with us to invest or deploy technical assistance in our Blended Debt Facility, joining us in the effort to preserve the Amazon.
