Co-investment is a mechanism to enable partnerships with philanthropic organisations or other funders to co-invest in initiatives that amplify collective impact and drive innovation.

SIA is exploring the potential for a co‑investment and innovation pathway to improve the alignment and combined impact of Government and non-government funding in the social sector.

We are currently undertaking exploratory policy, legal, and design work to develop options for how co-investment could work. We are engaging with philanthropic organisations, iwi, and local collectives about the potential for co-investment as part of this process.

SIA is progressing work to explore options for the co‑investment pathway, while further engagement is planned to inform advice to Ministers.

The Social Investment Fund will:

• invest early to help New Zealanders overcome a range of challenges to achieve their goals
• enable us to test and scale the social investment approach
• work in partnership with social sector organisations, iwi and other agencies.
