"Venture philanthropy organisations like Impetus Trust are really
setting the standard. They track and measure impact across their
portfolio of high-potential charities. I hope more organisations
will follow their good example. This business-like approach makes
it much easier for generous individuals and organisations to know
that their donations are making a real difference."
