Dr Dionne Payn - Founder & CEO

Dr. Dionne Payn is the Founder and CEO of High Impact Property Investments. The company specialises in partnering investors looking for double digit returns with projects that provide affordable and sustainable homes.

Dionne has a PhD in Natural Products Chemistry, has project managed a number of property developments in New South Wales, Australia and has helped almost 40 investors to achieve double digit returns through property. These property projects range from small one into two subdivisions up to larger co-living projects.

Dionne’s first taste of ethical property development came in 2017 / 2018, when she project managed a 14-townhouse project. This development delivered affordable rental and owner-occupied homes in an area well known for its high level of housing un-affordability. 

The experience of being financially well rewarded for this project while providing affordable homes for low to moderate income earners was a game-changer and led to her drive to make a difference to people’s lives through property.

Our Mission, Vision and Values

Our goal is to raise $1 billion by December 2026 for ethical property projects, because we believe that through social enterprise and private investment we can transform lives and end homelessness, particularly in vulnerable women and children.  

We support the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular goal 5 for gender equality and 11 for sustainable cities and communities.

We donate 1% of our revenue and our time to causes that align with these goals.
