The fund, a partnership between the foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the John D.

MacArthur Foundation, has invested more than $1 billion in 12 investments since it was launched in 2013, the New York Times reports.

The Zero Gap Fund's investments have had a "positive impact on at-risk people, communities, and ecosystems," the press release says.
