1m fund for early intervention on offer

A leading venture philanthropy organisation has launched an early intervention programme worth more than 1m to fund early years projects working with disadvantaged families.

Through the Impetus-Sutton Early Years Initiative, organisations will receive a support package over several years with funding up to £350,000 linked to hands-on support and advice.

Chief executive Daniella Barone Soares told Nursery World that what makes Impetus different from other venture philanthropists is their use of pro-bono support.

She said, 'We look at the charity's need. For example, if they need help with their rebranding, we go out and find a rebranding expert.'

This would involve, for example, a specific project to be completed within a set timeframe, which is agreed with the charity, who give feedback on the support received.
