Charities that work with and want to improve the lives of disadvantaged people have the opportunity to apply for funding through the Impetus Trust.

The Trust provides funding, capacity building and hands-on management support to small to medium-sized charities that are at a critical stage in their development. The support which is usually available between three and five years aims to ensure that charities are in a position to increase their impact upon the lives of disadvantage people.

To be eligible for support they must:

• work with a substantial number of disadvantaged people
• have a desire to maximise their impact
• have an income between £250,000 - £10million pa
• be operational for at least three years
• have their HQ and a significant portion of their management in England and Wales.

The investment package which Impetus offers is flexible but is most likely to be between £150,000- £300,000. Applications can be made at any time.
