Investment company EcoEnterprises successfully securing $50 million to expand their nature-focused projects across Latin America.
In a significant move towards sustainable development, impact investment firm EcoEnterprises Fund has announced the launch of its fourth fund, EcoEnterprises Partners IV, LP. With an initial $50m raised and a target close of $150m, the fund aims to finance nature-based solutions in Latin America [1].
The fund, which is the fourth in a series of impact funds, has attracted investments from development finance institutions and private investors such as IDB Invest, FinDev Canada, Visa Foundation, Wire Group, and FMO. The investment is made through FMO's Mobilising Finance for Forests programme, which is funded by the UK and Dutch governments [2].
EcoEnterprises Partners IV is focused on financing Latin American businesses that provide nature-based solutions primarily in sustainable agriculture and ecological sectors. The fund particularly supports small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) working to advance sustainability in Latin America [3].
The fund's CEO and managing partner, Tammy Newmark, stated that EcoEnterprises Partners IV will continue to identify, nurture, and grow innovative businesses that drive positive change and build solutions for a more resilient, sustainable future [4]. The fund targets businesses that deliver nature-based climate solutions through sustainable agriculture practices and other ecological innovations that help conserve natural resources and address climate change [1][2].
The fund's strategy also includes supporting Latin American SMEs with ecological and sustainable agricultural practices, encouraging enterprises that develop nature-based climate solutions to mitigate environmental impact, and aligning with impact investors who emphasize biodiversity conservation and climate resilience [5]. The fund's investments recognize the value of combining capital with high-touch engagement [6].
Furthermore, the fund appears to have commitments from development finance institutions and impact investors that prioritize both gender diversity and climate impact, reinforcing the innovative and inclusive nature of the funded businesses [5]. The women-owned and -led fund will invest in up to 20 small and medium-sized enterprises [7].
To date, EcoEnterprises has backed 50 companies across Latin America [8]. The fund's investments are made across the Amazonian, Andean, and Meso-American regions, and the enterprises are focused on biodiversity conservation, climate action, and social impact [3][6].
Tammy Newmark expressed gratitude to investors who understand the importance of long-term, sustainable development [9]. The NZI Charities and Endowments Summit was held in London on 12/06/2026 [10].
In summary, EcoEnterprises Partners IV funds innovative, nature-based businesses in Latin America that focus on sustainable agriculture and ecological enterprise models with measurable climate benefits. The fund's investments are made across the Amazonian, Andean, and Meso-American regions, supported by investment from IDB Invest and other development partners [1][2][5]. However, specific companies or case studies from the fund’s portfolio were not detailed in the available references.
