About this grant
Radicle Impact Partners is an early-stage venture firm that invests in companies with systems change potential across climate solutions and fair finance sectors. In Fair Finance specifically, the firm invests in companies working on fair, transparent and beneficial financial services including disaggregation of traditional banking, improved security and privacy, consumer agency, digital wallets, financial inclusion, farmer-centric financial services, and carbon markets with guardrails. The firm addresses the problem that the current financial system exacerbates inequality and perpetuates climate change. Low-income Americans pay a poverty premium for services, paying higher prices for credit, and US banks took $12.4 billion in overdraft fees in 2020 with 95% paid by the financially vulnerable. Additionally, 27% of Americans are underbanked, including approximately 50% of Black and Latino households. The financial system has also perpetuated climate change, with over $4 trillion invested in fossil fuels in the last six years by the top 60 banks. Radicle Impact invests in early-stage companies that address these systemic issues through innovative financial services and technologies.
