"I decided to support Impetus because I want to get the most for
my money. The charities they select will have a high potential to
make a difference, and with support from Impetus they increase

By donating to Impetus, you are helping to create long-term change, as we support the development of a whole charity or social enteprise, not just an individual project or activity.
We only back ambitious organisations whose leadership can make the most of the strategic investment and value-added support that we offer.
What's the result of our work? It's simple. Charities can deliver their services more effectively to more people and make a bigger impact in ending the cycle of poverty in the UK by increasing the skills, education and employability of the poorest 20% of the population.
