Sefa was established in 2011 when it was selected by the Australian Government to receive funding from its Social Enterprise Development and Investment Fund (SEDIF). On top of the $10 million grant, another $10 million was raised via equity investors and lenders.  

Since establishment, Sefa has unlocked more than $120 million of capital from the impact investing sector. The Sefa team has disbursed $45 million in loans through 60 deals.  

Sefa’s work continues across impact areas including crisis & affordable housing, education, arts, community enterprises, Indigenous and disability organisations. 

Sefa joined the growing community of B Corp certified companies in August 2015.

Though distinct entities Sefa works closely and collaboratively with Sefa Partnerships and shares a joint strategy for the continued growth of purpose-driven organisations across Australia and the impact ecosystem.
