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
two such funds: the Impetus for Reducing
Re-offending Initiative and the Impetus for London
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 £2 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. Find out more about the Giving Club.
Our goal is to make giving as easy and also as beneficial for you
as possible. Read more about how to give.
People often have a negative concept of what management consultants do - so it was lovely to be told [by the Impetus charity]: "I wasn't expecting you to be so helpful!"
