Shared Interest was established in 1994 by the Fund for a Free South Africa (FREESA), an organization established by black South Africans living in exile in the U.S.. Shared Interest has operated as an independent, tax-exempt organization since September 1995. In 1996, Shared Interest established the Thembani International Guarantee Fund in South Africa. Today, Shared Interest is raising funds that are used to guarantee loans issued by South African banks to low-income South Africans.
