HAPPY SMALA has developed as an unconventional entity: from a crowdfunding platform to an innovation lab, and today it is embarking on the creation of an impact fund. With roots in Morocco and activities across Africa, we continue to evolve to support the growth of the impact economy.

Our mission remains unchanged: to accelerate the emergence of the social and ecological economy through innovative policies, programs, partnerships, and financing models.

This fund aims to strengthen our capacity for action by supplementing existing non-financial support with catalytic impact capital. It aims to create collective momentum around innovative co-investment mechanisms and shared impact management standards.

We provide catalytic grants and tailored support social entrepreneurs, with the objective of meeting their fundraising and growth goals. We mobilize our network of investors, financial institutions, donor organizations, and crowdfunding platforms to co-construct "blended" funding rounds that meet the requirements of entrepreneurs and funders.

We fund social enterprises (Private companies, Cooperatives, and NGOs) that meet the following criteria:

• At least 2 years of operations (post legal registration)
• Commercial traction (clients and revenue)
• Demonstrated impact (social, economic, environmental)
• Previous funding experience (grants, loans, equity, crowdfunding)
• Impact-driven growth strategy (raising funds to scale impact and operations).

We currently only source social enterprises by recommendation through support organizations and funders.
