How You Can Participate
Investing
Shared Interest raises capital by accepting investments from individuals and organizations interested in South Africa’s equitable economic development. Shared Interest lenders commit a minimum of $3,000 for three or more years, often donating a portion of the interest earned on the principal to support Shared Interest’s operations and programs.
Contributors include individuals, faith-based organizations, corporations, foundations, non-profit organizations, foundations, banks and other institutions with investment capital. We also encourage socially responsible financial managers to consider Shared Interest as an investment vehicle. Contact us for our Prospectus.
