Creative Australia has partnered with international impact investing experts at Figurative (UK) to develop Creative Returns: Getting started with impact debt finance. This guide to working with debt finance for the Australian creative industries provides essential information on the nature of impact investment for the creative industries, sharing intel on what Australian arts organisations should consider when exploring this funding model.
Who is the Creative Returns for?
The guide is intended for anyone working in and with purpose-driven creative businesses in Australia – from staff and board members, to funders, philanthropists and government agencies.
We hope that the guide along with the examples and case studies will help to demystify impact investment and arm creative organisations with the knowledge that will enable you to make the most of the opportunities this form of finance can offer.
