We utilise the specialist expertise of both highly skilled individuals and leading companies to build the capacity of our charities and social enterprises, and so transform their social impact.
In fact, a number of our portfolio organisations have said that while they were initially attracted to the core funding Impetus offers, it was actually the expertise they received that made the greatest difference to them, and enabled them to grow at a much faster pace than they would have otherwise.
Over 150 highly skilled professionals and 32 companies have volunteered their expertise for our charities and social enterprises.

There has never been a greater need for giving than now. I would urge donors to be strategic in their giving, and look for opportunities where they know their money is having the greatest possible impact.
