Current investment partners in SEFA are Triodos of the Netherlands, Community Sector Banking (joint venture of Bendigo Bank), The NSW Aboriginal Land Council, The Regal Foundation and a group of private investors.

SEFA has been established to provide finance to social enterprises, together with targeted business advice and support. Integral to this business objective is a commitment to helping its customers build their capacity to manage debt and become financially sustainable over time.

Community Sector Banking is proud of its partnership with SEFA, viewing the access to alternative loan funds as an integral part of its business. This partnership will assist in building financial solutions for the sector. Our priority is to build blended capital solutions, and SEFA provides us with additional source of funds beyond pure bank debt.
