When was the last time your investments gave you joy?

While not a common question in the investment world, it’s one our community of impact investors asks often because we’ve seen what even a very small portion of our investments can do to support Kingdom renewal in chronically-underserved parts of the world.
Special thanks to the C Fund investors, who have had a tremendous impact in the lives of farmers in East Africa, Central Asia, and the Caucasus.
It started as a way to supply funds to our partner anchor companies to buy large volumes of commodities to bridge agricultural cycles, ultimately helping farmers access needed supplies at a more affordable rate while providing interest to the fund’s investors. The nearly two million in donated funds is fully deployed to companies in several regions of the world, and the stories are encouraging.
Thanks to our investor community!
In 2023, impact investors like you enabled…
Employment for 1200+ people
Ag services/inputs for 30,000+ people
Economic support for 40+ churches abroad
C Fund companies are serving farmers, many who say they would have been displaced from their home countries if not for the business training and affordable ag inputs and supplies they received.

These investors have also helped grow a feed mill in Kyrgyzstan that grew exponentially after shortages from Russia’s war in Ukraine, they’ve helped keep pastors from displacement, helped poor farming families lift themselves out of poverty, and they’ve helped remote farming communities gain access to extremely valuable supplies like feed and fertilizer.
Thank you to the impact investor community, we’re truly grateful!
