Recoverable Grants

Recoverable Grants

Reusable capital for local projects.

Recoverable Grants help Field Partners deploy 0% interest capital to projects they have helped launch, promote, and support on the ground. The goal is to help projects grow, repay, and keep capital circulating where it is most needed.


What are Recoverable Grants?

Capital that can be repaid and redeployed

Recoverable Grants are funding support for local projects that can be repaid over time with no interest and no debt burden.

Unlike a one-time grant, recoverable capital can be reused for other projects. When a project repays, the capital can be redeployed to support more local projects.

This helps the Impact Fund create ongoing impact instead of funding only one project once.


Why they exist

Local projects need capital they can access through trust

In many cases, small businesses and social entrepreneurs need access to grants to scale and grow their initiatives.

Access to capital is low in emerging markets, and often comes with exploitative loans.

Recoverable Grants exist to bring Bitcoin capital, financial tooling, and community support to local realities.


How Recoverable Grants work

The model is built for trust, accountability, and reusable capital

1. Field Partners identify credible projects Field Partners use their local network, workshops, and activities to find projects with real community context and proof of work.

2. Projects launch and build trust Field Partners help projects onboard to Geyser, create campaigns, promote their work, and connect with contributors.

3. Recoverable capital is allocated The Impact Fund helps Field Partners deploy recoverable grants to projects they support on the ground.

4. Projects grow and repay Projects use the capital to grow. When funds are repaid, capital can be redeployed to future projects.


##Who allocates Recoverable Grants?

Field Partners are closest to the work

The Impact Fund pool of capital is being used to deploy capital to recoverable Grants.

Field Partners are the execution engine that makes it work on the ground. They are best placed to identify credible projects because they understand the local context, know the people involved, and can support projects beyond the funding moment.
