Summary
Toniic is a global community of approximately 500 asset owners — including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and foundations — across 25+ countries who are committed to impact investing. Rather than being a traditional funding program or grant-maker, Toniic operates as a membership-based peer network that facilitates co-investment opportunities, knowledge sharing, and portfolio strategy development among its members. The organization distinguishes impact investing from ESG investing by emphasizing intentionality, evidence-based design, and active contribution to solutions for global challenges such as poverty, climate change, and healthcare access. Toniic uses the UN Sustainable Development Goals as its measurement framework and co-created the SDG Impact Theme Matrix — a taxonomy of 60 impact themes — to help members identify aligned opportunities. Membership costs $7,500–$15,000 annually plus a one-time onboarding fee, and is open only to accredited investors or senior staff of family offices and foundations. Members gain access to a directory of 1,500+ impact investments, co-investment matching, educational programs (Activator, Deployer, Catalyst pathways), regional gatherings, and the T100 Project studying fully impact-activated portfolios. This is an investor network, not a grant program — it does not accept applications from NGOs or project implementers seeking funding.
Historical Context
Toniic co-created the SDG Impact Theme Matrix in 2016 (a taxonomy of 60 impact themes). The organization runs the T100 Project, a longitudinal study of portfolios with 100% impact activation. The network comprises approximately 500 members across 25+ countries.
