Coming Soon!

Alfanar is working to launch the first regional impact investment fund for the Arab world. 

Building on 20 years of venture philanthropy in the region, we are on a mission to empower visionary entrepreneurs who use their businesses to create a more sustainable and inclusive future for disadvantaged communities, especially for women, youth and children.

Our impact investment strategy aims to generate commercial returns for investors while maximising positive and measurable social and environmental impact. 

We will invest in ambitious, growing businesses with impact, making available multiple financial instruments, including equity, debt or hybrids.  In addition to investment capital, the fund will make available non-dilutive technical assistance grants to help these businesses strengthen and scale their impact, operations and revenue. 

Our focus on gender lens investment coupled with a rich pipeline of growth-stage businesses with impact and a strong network of ecosystem partners will be leveraged to ensure the success of this first fund and pave the path to enhanced impact investment across the region for the future.  

Please reach out at [email protected] if you would like to invest, partner or be considered for investment.
