Frequently asked questions
What type of capital does Social and Sustainable Capital provide?
SASC primarily provides repayable finance through secured and unsecured loans. The firm structures flexible facilities—including term loans and working capital—tailored to charities and social enterprises. In certain cases, the Third Sector Investment Fund includes equity-like features to better align with enterprise growth trajectories.
How is SASC different from a charitable grant-maker?
SASC operates as an FCA-regulated fund manager, not a grant-making body. It raises capital for dedicated funds and expects borrowers to repay principal plus interest. A legally separate charitable entity, SASC Trust Limited, handles grant activity, keeping the investment management and philanthropic operations distinctly governed.
Which UK regions does SASC cover?
SASC’s investment scope covers the entire United Kingdom. Its portfolio filter confirms active positions across England, Scotland, and Wales. The firm does not restrict lending to a single city or region and evaluates applicants based on social impact metrics rather than geography.
What are SASC's three core funds?
The firm operates the Social and Sustainable Housing Fund for property-backed loans to housing-related charities, the Community Investment Fund providing smaller unsecured loans for grassroots organizations, and the Third Sector Investment Fund for larger, flexible capital solutions to established social enterprises.
Does SASC take equity stakes or only provide debt?
SASC's model is anchored in debt, but the Third Sector Investment Fund may incorporate quasi-equity or equity features where appropriate to align with a borrower's cash-flow profile. The firm discloses its approach as repayable finance, not pure venture capital.
