To increase The Bryan Foundation’s impact, the Foundation undertakes Impact Investments. This allows the Foundation to use its corpus capital, in addition to traditional grants, to address social issues.
Impact Investments are made with the specific intention of achieving social benefits as well as financial returns.
The Foundation’s Impact Investments help to enable recipient organisations to transition from relying solely on direct grant assistance programs to more sustainable and measurable business operating models that align with the Foundation’s values.
The Foundation’s Impact Investments do not necessarily need to align with the education focus of its granting programs.
The Bryan Foundation has undertaken Impact Investments such as social impact bonds, concessional interest rate loans, guarantees and equity investments.
The Bryan Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests for Impact Investments.
Jigsaw provides training, paid work experience and transitional pathways into mainstream employment for people with disabilities.

Jigsaw currently operates a fully operational and sustainable social enterprise in Sydney’s Frenchs Forest, which supports more than 180 people.
The Bryan Foundation is proud to support Jigsaw’s national expansion activities, including its move into a brand new purpose-built document management facility in Mount Gravatt, Brisbane.
