Since 2007, the Rockefeller Foundation has been committed to growth and development of the impact investing sector as a way to address social and environmental challenges and accelerate benefits to poor and vulnerable people.

B Lab's financial model reflects a mix of earned and philanthropic revenue. Over the last ten years, B Lab's earned revenue has risen to over 50% of its operating budget of ~10M, making the organization increasingly self-sustaining while allowing for philanthropic revenue to focus on new market innovations. Over time, our goal is to be 80% self-sustaining; leaving a 20% budget to address market barriers and support development of programs ahead of the market.
As a 501C3, B Lab makes its Forms 990 available to the public. If you have any questions about B Lab's finances or philanthropic support, reach out to us here.
