The Impact Committee serves as the primary decision-making body for CAF's Impact Accelerator activities namely:


  • Social investment loans

It also provides oversight of the Impact Accelerator's activities and performance.

The Impact Committee's purpose is to approve support for charities and social enterprises by:

The Chair of the Impact Committee is the Managing Director of Philanthropy Services.
