One of the core beliefs of GAWA's advised funds is that there doesn't have to be a trade-off between social impact and financial sustainability in organizations that promote financial inclusion. In general terms, the funds are looking to invest in organisations that fit in with the following criteria:

• Lending Institutions with a Green Finance Focus: Ideally regulated, offering or planning to develop green financial products and climate solutions for their clients. 

• Innovative companies leading solutions for climate change adaptation and mitigation, both for SMEs and small-scale farmers.

• At least EUR 40 million in assets, 3 years of operations, and positive net income. External audits are required, ideally conducted by an international auditor.

• Operate in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Bolivia, Honduras, Guatemala, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua) or India.

• A strong management team with a social mission, committed to transforming the organization to provide better products and services. We seek an entity that is solid, sustainable, and transparent.
