For ecosystem partners

Building the field
for ethical education finance.

We don't just want to grow Chancen — we want to grow the whole field. We collaborate with local and international actors to set standards, build evidence and shape the systems that make ethical education finance work at scale.

Proud Co-founders

We are a co-founder of the Global ISA Alliance — a consortium advancing ethical standards and evidence for income share agreements as a scalable tool for economic mobility.

Through the Alliance, we work with peers around the world to protect students, raise the bar on ethics, and prove that fair, outcomes-based finance can transform lives at scale.

We actively partner with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) locally

to reach excluded young people where they are and widen access to information about education financing options.
