Who we are

Kachuwa Impact Fund is an investment cooperative and public benefit corporation focused on owning and operating “impact real estate” and investing in privately held “impact companies.” As a cooperative, Kachuwa is democratically owned and controlled by its members on a one-vote-per-person basis. As a cooperative, Kachuwa is democratically owned and controlled by its members on a one-vote-per-person basis. By design, ~60% of Kachuwa’s assets are real estate, ~40% of its assets are investments, and all of its assets must be aligned with one or more of Kachuwa’s nine “impact themes.” Kachuwa is an open-ended, “evergreen" fund, and it is similar to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) combined with a mutual fund whose diversified holdings have a positive impact on society and the environment. Kachuwa’s goal is not to maximize financial return at any cost; instead, it is to create positive impact while earning reasonable, non-extractive returns for its members. Consequently, Kachuwa’s investors tend to be people who are seeking private investment opportunities that prioritize social and environmental impact rather than the short-sighted, bottom line focus for which Wall Street is known.
