The Meloy Fund for Sustainable Community Fisheries is a unique brand launched in 2017 by Rare, a global conservation organization. As a mission-driven NGO, Rare acts as the General Partner for the fund, while Deliberate Capital, LLC serves as the fund manager. The Meloy Fund focuses on impact investing in fishing and seafood-related enterprises, aiming to demonstrate the triple bottom line viability of sustainable investments in these industries.

Working in the Philippines and Indonesia, The Meloy Fund disrupts traditional local supply chain ecosystems to provide opportunities for local fishers to secure more sustainable livelihoods. They achieve this by supporting small and medium-sized enterprises involved in wild-caught seafood, mariculture, and aqua culture supply chains. Their efforts include modernizing operations, improving ESG characteristics, expanding into new markets, and implementing value-added processes that reduce costs and improve revenues for local fishers.

The Meloy Fund is widely recognized for its innovative practices in impact investment funds. They have established an Impact Committee, a technical assistance facility, and an impact measurement dashboard to track progress. By partnering with The Meloy Fund, investors and stakeholders support a sustainable future for coastal communities and the preservation of natural resources
