Impact Not a Bank is a global platform focused on financing actions in Climate, Community and Biodiversity, aiming to promote transformative changes by connecting foundations, corporations, governments and investors with impactful socio-environmental initiatives and enterprises in the Amazon.

Over the past year, Impact Not a Bank has mobilized over USD 10.6 million for projects and ventures, directly benefiting over 33,500 people from 65 ethnic groups in 141 communities. These efforts have contributed to the conservation of 2.9 million hectares and impacted 8,879 families.  

Impact Not a Bank exists to redefine the concept of profit, promoting a financial model in which true gain occurs when people, society and the environment prosper together. More than a financial institution, it is a movement that offers a digital platform focused on impact organizations, micro, small and medium-sized companies, and individuals engaged in socio-environmental transformation. 

"Our vision for impact is to help drive a fairer, more regenerative economy in the Amazon – one that generates prosperity for its communities and strengthens the conservation of its biodiversity.”
