Social impact
We oversee the Queensland Government’s investment of $20 million a year to empower social enterprises and the broader impact economy to harness new resources and innovations to improve the lives of Queenslanders.
Social enterprises are businesses that deliver a purpose beyond profit. Impact investments are made to generate positive, measurable social impact alongside a financial return. These sectors are well placed to help government tackle societal challenges.
Our roadmap
Social enterprise and impact investing roadmap 2025 – Strengthening impact, boosting the bottom line is a 4-year roadmap for social enterprise and impact investing. It strategically plots a course for long-term sustainable growth, driving positive outcomes across Queensland. The roadmap will amplify the government’s investment while encouraging impact investors to create sustainable, positive outcomes for vulnerable Queenslanders.
The roadmap was designed in collaboration with investors, community, faith groups, philanthropies, the private sector and social entrepreneurs. It outlines a path to address the barriers to growth, as identified through extensive consultation.
Impact Revenue Investments program
The Impact Revenue Investments program provides revenue incentives to help eligible organisations scale, grow sustainably and enhance their social impact. This program is a foundational measure under the roadmap.
