Financial Supporters
Innovation Works is fortunate to have a broad base of support from Baltimore entrepreneurs, foundations, and institutions with genuine excitement and interest in IW’s mission, values, and model. IW attracts investors who support IW’s investment principles.
IW is proud to be financially supported by a wide variety of investors, including faith institutions, businesses, charitable foundations and individuals. IW’s general operating fund primarily covers all efforts to support Baltimore’s disinvested neighborhoods and supporting the development of the enterprises in its pipeline.

That said, we understand that investing directly into Ignite Capital is not the right financial decision for everyone, which is why we have created our Co-Investor Network. This gives investors the opportunity to partner with Ignite Capital by investing directly into the social enterprises in our pipeline.
