Change begins with us. Our team is as diverse as the communities we serve, and our lived experiences inform our commitment to unlocking opportunity across urban, rural, and tribal communities. We also provide education and opportunity to underrepresented populations in the world of finance.

Your Partner in Impact Investing
Remove Barriers. Develop Solutions. Make a Difference.
At Avivar Capital, we believe that capital can be used to unlock opportunity.
We’re a mission-driven impact investment management firm leading a movement to invest in the places we live and work, transforming our nation’s communities and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
We’re interested in systems change, not band-aids. We seek solutions that address the root causes of our most pressing problems: climate change, healthcare access, educational opportunity, and social challenges that prevent people from reaching their full potential.
While foundations use grant dollars and advocates use policy change, we use capital as our primary tool to benefit communities. We work with clients to find opportunities to invest in the causes they believe in. By bringing both investment rigor and inclusive values to all of our work, we develop an impact investing strategy that is as effective as it is meaningful.
What’s your higher purpose? Ours is to provide strategic guidance to make investments that change the world.
Together, we can make a difference.
Diversity
Experience
Our team has over 120 years of collective experience leading impact investment units in banks, foundations, venture capital funds, and community development entities. As a SEC registered investment advisor, Avivar has used catalytic capital to design, launch, and manage impact investment portfolios and funds totaling more than $500 million in some 150 transactions. Our impact investing strategy expertise spans multiple asset classes, including debt, equity, real estate, and more.
Commitment
Our skills run deep. In addition to financial expertise, our team has experience working to make change directly. Our team members have worked as water resource engineers, XX, XX, and as impact players on dozens of other projects we’re passionate about. We use this insight to light the way for our clients to achieve excellent outcomes.
