About us
Big Society Capital is an independent financial institution. We provide organisations tackling major social issues with access to new sources of finance to help them thrive and grow.
Our vision and mission
We aim to build a sustainable social investment market to help social sector organisations increase their impact on society.
How we are funded
We get our funding from money from dormant bank accounts and investment from four leading high street banks.
Our People
The make-up of our organisation reflects our mission. It includes people with excellent experience from the social, financial and business sectors.
Our Organisation
We are governed by our social mission. Our structure protects this and ensures that we reinvest the majority of any surplus we generate in our mission.
