There are three key ways you can become an Impact Funder or extend your existing support.

1.

Support the work behind the Impact Fund

Love what you have read in this report? You can support the Impact Fund’s core costs so we can continue to build this important work. This model adds so much value, but it is resource-intensive, and necessarily so. 

Support the work behind the Fund so together we can mobilise even more ambitiously for our partners and continue to grow this game-changing and high-impact approach to giving.

2.

Give an untied donation to the grants pool

BEQUESTS

If you are interested in leaving a legacy to the people who come after us, consider leaving a bequest to the Impact Fund. Your legacy will inspire the next generation of people working toward a vision of justice for us all. If would like to leave a bequest, contact us below.

‘’The Impact Fund curation has been fantastic. You share in the enthusiasm about impact with other donors – you all feel good about it. I’m so used to deliberating long and hard about how and why we donate. The idea it can be organised collaboratively and effectively with an eye to real impact is very compelling.” 

Jackie Yowell (Fairer Futures Fund), Impact Funder

“Impact is a word that’s used freely and ambitiously, but it’s a word that carries real bite when you look at the range of projects, and their outcomes, that have been supported by the Impact Fund.”
