GSG NAB Chile - Inversión de Impacto

What GSG NAB Chile - Inversión de Impacto does

GSG NAB Chile - Inversión de Impacto is the Chilean National Advisory Board of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG Impact), operating as a non-profit ecosystem coordinator. Its functional mandate is to mobilize private capital toward social and environmental impact in Chile by convening investors, enterprises, government, academia, and multilateral partners around shared infrastructure for the impact investment market.

The organization runs a small team of 8 employees based in Santiago and delivers its mandate through four core product pillars: the Impact Matching platform, which connects impact-seeking enterprises with impact-aligned investors; the CATALIZA national encounter series, a recurring convening event (with a third edition held in 2023); Expert Groups in Measurement, Data, and Regulation that produce policy and market-infrastructure outputs; and knowledge-distribution channels including a Newsletter and Document Library. It also maintains an Impact Narrative Awards program, first awarded in 2021.

The business model is membership-based and grant-supported. Revenue is generated through the Socios Impacta membership program, supplemented by institutional partnerships (Fundación Chile, BID Lab, GAIL Latam, Centro de Gobierno Corporativo UC), sponsored events, and likely multilateral or philanthropic grants. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven, anchored on its formal designation as the GSG Impact chapter in Chile and on multi-stakeholder convening rather than direct commercial sales.
