Unleashing capital and kindness to nurture ideas and build healthy, sustainable communities. The Untours Foundation works to alleviate poverty by providing low-interest loans to social entrepreneurs and businesses here, across the United States, and around the world. Our capital creates employment and valuable goods and services in economically impoverished communities. We seek to fuel projects that are leading-edge, replicable, and green. By investing rather than giving grants, the Foundation recycles its resources, making capital available again and again to visionary investees. We also advocate for mission-aligned investing in order to more broadly build a just and environmentally sustainable global economy.
