Final Close of Realize Fund I

$276.7M fund aims to strengthen Canadian resiliency by growing the social finance market

June 17, 2026

Today we announce the final close of our blended finance, impact fund-of-funds, Realize Fund I, having raised $276.7M in total capital – $141.7M of private capital to match the Government of Canada’s $135M anchor investment in 2023.

With this close, we are delivering on the SFF ambition to use the Government’s capital to multiply and mobilize private capital participation in the social finance market. Fund I’s $276.7M positions it as one of the largest funds in Canada’s impact investment market. The fundraise underscores investor interest in sustainable and equitable Canadian investment solutions and confidence in us to deliver strong impact outcomes and financial returns over the coming years.
