About

The search for the right data starts with big questions. Is the impact investing market growing? Is it really driving transformational change?

Yes, the impact investing market is growing; assets under management grew by 26% between 2020 and 2021. But market growth is not accelerating at a rate necessary to reach the SDGs by 2030. What can we do to go faster? 

Our landmark report – Accelerating Impact – offers answers and a comprehensive, data-driven picture of where we are and where we need to go. In 2024, we're doing an update – stay tuned!

Where our data comes from

Impact Europe collects market data through annual surveys on impact investing and engaged grant-making in Europe. We launched our first survey in 2010, and since then have built a comprehensive picture of the market trends and needs.  

Our surveys provide independent statistics, crucial in a sector that is increasingly attracting new actors with different impact strategies. Its insights apply to experienced social impact investors, newcomers, policymakers, traditional investors and foundations to gain a broad understanding of trends, gaps, practices and strategies adopted by European investors for impact.
