Since making my previous list of social impact stock exchanges, I have found some other places where organizations and projects can get listed.
South African Social Investment Exchange (SASIX). This is the first social impact investment platform in South Africa. It makes “carefully selected social development projects available as investment opportunities with a social return”. Each project is valued and then broken up into $6 shares. Investors can buy each share, and if all the shares are bought then project implementation begins. This is similar to Kiva and other crowdsourcing investment vehicles that aggregate small investments into a larger loan to an individual or a business. As far as I understand, investors receive no return on their shares. I also could not find a way for investors to re-sell their shares. So this seems to be a grant rather than a liquid investment.
