We Connect Change-Makers, Capital and Expertise to Improve People's Lives
Our mission is to create social impact for the good, through smart innovation, collaborative action, and wealth creation driven by integrity
Impact Culture Capital CIC Reimagines What Social Finance Can Be.
Founded in 2020, Impact Culture Capital CIC (ICC CIC) is a Community Interest Company dedicated to connecting capital and expertise to changemakers with innovative business plans for social change.
ICC CIC’s ultimate goal is to keep more of Nova Scotia's investments within the province. Our social finance initiatives aim to change the habits of Nova Scotians by encouraging them to invest in their communities. If even 3% of the funds Nova Scotians invest in RRSP’s annually can be deployed at home, it would unleash over $28 million in community capital investment per year, stimulating a compounded effect through the economy.
ICC CIC offerings are designed to provide returns for Nova Scotian investors
ICC CIC impact investing initiatives stimulate community-driven action by offering tax savings for accredited and non-accredited investors by combining tax credits with financial returns, and equity ownership opportunities.
ICC CIC Group of Companies’ Impact Initiatives:
Backr: an investment app that connects investors with local investment opportunities that do good in their community
Build Nova Scotia Fund: a Community Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) developing social enterprises that invest in Nova Scotia’s communities
As a Community Interest Company, ICC CIC reinvests 60% of the profits it generates back into internal development of new projects and investment opportunities that advance the company’s mandate. The assets of ICC CIC remain with the community in perpetuity.
