$4T
The overall SDG financing gap
Up from $2.5T when the goals were set in 2015, against a backdrop of $450T in global wealth. ODA covers around 5% of that need — and fell 20%+ in 2025 alone.
About
A world where capital answers to need, not convention.
Vision
Where resources move toward the people and places that need them most — unbound by habit, geography or category.
Mission
The world doesn't lack the capital to solve its biggest problems. It lacks the routing. Trillions sit disconnected from the places that need them most — not because the money isn't there, but because nothing connects it to where it should go.
Capital Flow for Good is that connection. We develop and implement innovative solutions to mobilise private, philanthropic and impact capital, and direct it toward wherever need and impact are greatest.
Why we exist
The scale of the problem is a routing problem.
$700B+
Biodiversity finance gap
Estimates range from $700B to over $940B a year. Subsidies that harm nature still outweigh spending that protects it by several times over.
136M
Forcibly displaced people
UNHCR's 2026 caseload — more than double a decade ago. Early pledges for 2026 covered under a fifth of projected needs.
733M
People facing hunger
Above both the pre-pandemic level and the 2015 baseline. Sub-Saharan Africa is disproportionately affected.
The case for us
- 01
The money exists — the routing doesn't.
$450T of global wealth against a $4T annual shortfall. The constraint is not scarcity; it is connective infrastructure between capital and need.
- 02
Cause-agnosticism is a strength in a fragmented landscape.
Conservation, displacement, education and land access are siloed in funding but linked on the ground. Moving flexibly across causes closes gaps that single-issue funders structurally cannot.
- 03
Blended sources matter because no single source is sufficient.
Donations alone can't close a $4T gap. Impact capital alone hasn't either. Drawing on multiple channels is structurally more resilient.
- 04
Declining aid makes intermediaries more necessary, not less.
As ODA and multilateral budgets retreat, the role of organisations that can mobilise private, philanthropic and impact capital becomes more critical.
