We are ambitious to increase the size of our portfolio and work with more proven, innovative charities and social enterprises. Our focus is on organisations that are achieving clear outcomes for economically disadvantaged people, which want to accelerate their growth.
We invest in charities and social enterprises that have ambitious growth plans, and that will benefit from the Impetus venture philanthropy approach. Read more about the package of support we offer our portfolio charities and social enterprises.
Please note that we do not fund projects or offer funding alone. We receive a large number of applications, some of which would not be eligible for Impetus support as the applicant does not meet all of our selection criteria. So please do look at our selection criteria carefully before you consider applying.
We couldn’t possibly have expanded in the way we have, and with the speed we have, without support from Impetus.
