Founded in 1999, Root Capital is a nonprofit impact investor that provides loans and financial training to small and growing agricultural businesses in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Its mission is to serve businesses that are often caught in the "missing middle" of finance: too large for microfinance but too small or risky for traditional commercial banks. By providing essential credit and capacity building, Root Capital aims to create sustainable livelihoods, promote environmental resilience, and empower rural communities.
