Many impact organisations reach an inflection point where traditional grants are no longer enough, but investment capital may be unavailable, premature, or misaligned with their social mission. This ‘Missing Middle’ leaves impact organisations stuck – not for lack of potential, but for lack of the right capital, capacity and connections.
The Barbell Fund is Majurity’s social finance fund—deploying impact-first capital for enterprising charities and social enterprises to build revenue resilience and durable impact.
For Enterprising Charities
Building earned income pathways to reduce reliance on grants and donations
For Impact Enterprises
Building stronger and sustainable double bottom-lines
why Barbell?
Like a barbell that builds strength progressively over time, the Barbell Fund is designed to give impact organisations the capital and support they need to build their enterprise muscle, grow sustainably, and deepen their impact.
We do it in three ways
Fit-for-purpose capital
Through different funding structures for different stages of growth
Readiness support
Through ReadySetLift, an enterprise readiness programme and technical assistance grants
Ecosystem building efforts
To convene more funders, social entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to make the social impact landscape more navigable for all.
Building the Enterprising Muscle of Impact Organisations
The Barbell Fund offers a spectrum of financing instruments sized and structured to meet organisations at different phases of their growth journey.
