Working Capital for Community Needs (WCCN) is proud to be included in the ImpactAssets 50 Fund Managers List. After four years as part of the Emerging Impact Managers, this year marks a significant milestone—WCCN’s first recognition in the Fund Managers category.
This recognition highlights WCCN’s long-standing commitment to impact investing, as ImpactAssets honors experienced fund managers with at least five years of proven, measurable impact. It also reflects WCCN’s over 40 years of commitment to expanding access to microfinance and essential financial services for low-income entrepreneurs across Latin America—particularly women, indigenous communities, and rural populations who are often excluded from the traditional banking system.
By channeling capital where it’s needed most, WCCN supports underserved individuals to start and grow sustainable businesses, strengthen their communities, and achieve financial independence to break the cycle of poverty.
"WCCN is honored to be named to the Impact Assets 50 list for the 5th year in a row. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication to our mission of all the supporters, staff and board members for the past 40 years. The Impact Assets 50 list has been a valuable tool for WCCN to reach more supporters and amplify our mission and we greatly appreciate the partnership", said William Harris, WCCN Executive Director.
Now in its 14th year, the IA 50 remains the most comprehensive resource for identifying best-in-class impact fund managers, offering investors a rigorously curated and publicly accessible database to explore the industry’s leaders across the full range of investment types.
ImpactAssets employs a rigorous multi-stage process to select the IA 50, ensuring it remains the most credible and thoughtfully curated benchmark for impact investing excellence. Unlike lists based purely on AUM rankings or editorial selection, the IA 50 blends quantitative analysis with expert qualitative review to identify managers that are not only financially sound, but also deeply committed to measurable impact.
“As impact investing continues its march into the financial mainstream, the IA 50 has become a powerful barometer of industry maturation and the most respected recognition in our sector. The scale, growth and credibility of this year’s IA 50 managers demonstrate that impact investing is not only thriving, it is becoming an undeniable force in the market”, commented Margret Trilli, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of ImpactAssets and an IA 50 Review Committee member.
