Blended finance is the use of catalytic public or philanthropic capital to increase private sector investment in places that need it most. We are the source for everything blended finance, including deals, data, reports, trainings, webinars, and much more. At Convergence, we believe that blended finance can disrupt traditional development finance as we know it, by attracting private sector funds to developing countries in volumes never before seen. Convergence is a not-for-profit headquartered in Toronto, Canada. We operate globally and have a presence in Singapore, Nairobi, London, and Washington DC. Over the last decade, we have built a robust network of over 200 public, private, and philanthropic investors as well as sponsors of blended finance transactions. To accelerate advances in the field, Convergence also provides grants, recoverable grants and wraparound support through its Blended Finance Accelerator program, which funds the development of new blended finance solutions.
