An Update To our 2023 & 2024 Impact Reports
At Fair Finance Fund, integrity and transparency are central to our work. As a social finance lender committed to strengthening Ontario’s local food economy, we believe our reporting should reflect the same level of accountability we expect from our clients and partners.
During our most recent impact review process, we discovered discrepancies in some of the client impact metrics reported in our 2023 and 2024 Impact Reports. These issues were related to data consolidation and indicator tracking, and while they did not affect the broader findings or stories shared, they did result in numerical inaccuracies. To correct these, we are republishing both the 2023 and 2024 Impact Reports with corrected figures.
We want to thank our community for your continued trust and support. These reports are not just a reflection of our operations—they are a reflection of the values and impacts we share together. Ensuring the accuracy of that reflection matters deeply to us. We remain committed to transparent reporting, and we appreciate your understanding.

In addition, in the 2024 report and moving forward, we will begin to share our estimated impact metrics alongside the client-reported impact metrics. As our loan client community grows and diversifies, a greater proportion of clients are unable to complete the annual impact reporting questionnaire. To account for these clients’ true imapct, we will now calculate the estimated total impact by taking the average impact per client and multiplying by our current client community. By doing so, we can provide a more holistic representation of the impact Fair Finance Fund, our clients, and our investor community are creating in economic and environmentally resilient communities across Ontario.
If you have any questions about the updates, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at communications@fairfinancefund.org.
