Investing in impact,
driving inclusive economic growth,
and generating competitive returns.
Boann is an impact investing firm with multiple funds in deployment or development. We pair financial acumen with impact expertise with our investments delivering both financial and impact returns. We offer active management and tailored support to each investment in our portfolio.
Boann invests in solutions that are building an economy that enables everyone in Canada to participate and prosper. We are investing in communities in every region across Canada, from rural and remote to urban centres—reaching people and places traditional finance often overlooks.
Our first Fund - Boann Social Impact - is backed by an initial $154 million contribution from the Government of Canada’s Social Finance Fund (SFF) to accelerate the growth of the social finance market in Canada.
