SASIX Investment Cycle

When we say that our investment opportunities are carefully selected, we really mean it.

Each SASIX project goes through an intensive selection and evaluation process including peer review panels, site visits, a comprehensive organisation and risk assessment, research, evaluation and detailed reporting.

  • Project identification - Our evaluators find projects with a high potential social return on investment
  • Initial screening - We check that organisations have the appropriate legal structures and fit into our investment sectors
  • In-depth desk-based research - Evaluators analyse the organisation and compare its approach with international best practice
  • Peer review - Evaluators present projects to the research team, who together decide whether or not to advance the project
  • Site visit - An evaluator spends a full day on-site with the organisation to see how their model works in practice
  • Listing - If approved, the project is listed on SASIX, making it available for public investment
  • Grantmaking - Once the project is fully funded, SASIX makes the first payment to the implementing organisation
  • Monitoring and evaluation - Until six months after project completion, implementing organisations report on their progress and challenges

What is SASIX?

SASIX makes carefully selected social development projects available as investment opportunities with a social return.
