Your money can make a vital difference to the work Impetus is doing with the charities and social enterprises in our portfolio.
Impetus welcomes gifts of all sizes. There are a number of different options for giving to Impetus, including:
1. Impetus fund
Your donation will be used to significantly increase the impact of our innovative and ambitious portfolio charities, which are providing long-term solutions for the poorest 20% of the UK's population. Many of our donors choose to give over a number of years, but you can also give a one-off donation. As examples of giving:
- A pledge of £150,000 (typically given over a three-year period) will enable us to make a long-term commitment to a new charity
- £50,000 will fund a scale-up plan for a charity.
Read about how you can give to Impetus, or contact us to discuss giving options in more detail.
2. Managed fund
If you would like to donate to a particular area of economic disadvantage, we offer a managed fund approach. Currently we have three such funds: the Impetus for Reducing Re-offending Initiative, the Impetus for London Initiative and the Impetus - Sutton Early Years Initiative. If you are interested in a different area, please contact us to discuss how we could work together on a new fund.
3. Bespoke solutions / foundations
For upwards of £3 million, we can develop bespoke solutions or foundations, whereby you provide us with your investment criteria, we find matching charities and then manage the investments in those charities. Please contact us to discuss this option in more detail.
4. Co-investment
You can donate to a specific Impetus portfolio charity(s) by co-investing alongside us. This means that your donation will only go to your chosen charity(s), alongside Impetus funding. You will benefit from the Impetus 'turbo-charging' effect, but will not need to invest as much time in the management process. Please contact us to discuss this in more detail.
5. Giving club: Team 2015
Giving club: Team 2015 is a new initiative for like-minded donors to pool their gifts for greater impact than they would be able to achieve individually. Donors are invited to give at one of two levels, committing to either an annual gift of £1000 for five years and becoming a Team 2015 Friend, or an annual gift of £5000 for the same period and becoming a Team 2015 Champion. Please contact us to discuss your participation in the Giving club in more detail.
Our goal is to make giving as easy and also as beneficial for you as possible. Read more about how to give.
If you want to really achieve an increase in impact then the Impetus process is of tremendous value.
