About this grant
The Builders Fund is a private equity firm that invests in growth-stage companies whose fundamental business models directly address environmental and social challenges. The fund partners with accomplished management teams to build purpose-driven companies where impact is embedded in the business model, not as an afterthought. The fund focuses on three investment themes: Climate Solutions & Regenerative Food Systems (addressing climate change, resource depletion, and broken food systems through renewable energy, decarbonization, sustainable building, circular products, regenerative agriculture, and food waste solutions); and Equity, Social Justice, Wellness & Health (closing the gap between haves and have-nots through equitable business models, education, workforce development, ethical supply chains, and solutions to chronic disease and mental health crises). The Builders Fund emphasizes authentic partnerships, intentional growth driven through earnings improvement rather than leverage, uncompromising impact standards, and systems-responsible investing with mission-driven cultures.
