NextGen Impact Funds

Investing for the future — by the future.

The world is changing fast, and the next generation will live with the consequences of the action or inaction we take today.

Yet the power to direct capital — to shape systems of wellbeing, food, energy, work — still belongs to those furthest from the problems of tomorrow.

The NextGen Impact Funds exist to change that.

We are a $22.5 million national impact investment platform with two distinct offerings:
NextGen Impact Venture Fund
Early-stage investment in ventures building solutions for people and planet.
NextGen Community Credit Fund
Flexible financing for social enterprises, SMEs, nonprofits, charities, and co-ops.

We are Canada’s first institutional impact investment fund focused on benefitting young people, at scale.

Through our integration with the Propel Impact Investing Fellowship, we train students across Canada to learn investment skills by doing. We have built Canada's largest scout fund.

Our network of trained investment teams connects capital with communities and founders poised to grow impact at scale in ten regions (and counting):

Victoria
Vancouver
Calgary
Regina
London
Toronto
Kingston
Ottawa
Toronto
N.L.

Our ambition is scale our place-based model to 25 teams across Canada by 2028, providing true coast-to-coast-to-coast coverage for youth and communities alike.

A different way of investing

NextGen combines institutional discipline with distributed, place-based insight.

Across Canada, trained local investment teams are embedded in their communities, sourcing opportunities, conducting rigorous diligence, and supporting potential investees beyond capital.

Alongside technical skills, we educate aspiring investment professionals to invest using a community and planet-first mindset.
