Who is our customer?
CrossBoundary LLC (“CB”). CB is setting up a new fund, the Fund for Nature (“FFN”), which will provide early-stage financing into high-impact nature-based solutions projects in emerging markets.
What is our funding objective?
To enable CB to continue with the set-up operations of the FFN and to reach a first close of the fund in the next 12 – 18 months. FMO’s product will be a Repayable Development Contribution, fully funded by MFF, of up to USD 848,017.
Why do we fund this investment?
FMO has been in active discussions with the FFN team about becoming an anchor investor in the fund since early 2025. FMO see FFN as an attractive and differentiated offering in the market, which has good traction with other investors and high mobilisation potential. CB had previously been awarded US foreign assistance funding to cover a portion of the fund set-up costs, in addition to the funding provided from CB’s own balance sheet. However, this grant funding was partially suspended in Q1 2025 following a shift in US government priorities. MFF is therefore providing CB with a Repayable Development Contribution (RDC) to enable the FFN to reach a first close of the fund within the next 12 -18 months, with the potential for FMO to be part of the first close investor group.
