Funding is essential to any charity but it takes more than that to grow successfully. With the backing of Arete Capital Partners, a multi-family investment office led by a team of successful entrepreneurs and investors, we offer support and guidance to our long-term partners to help them navigate the challenges of growth.
Striving for lasting, positive change.
For change to be meaningful, it has to last. Instead of focusing on short-term outcomes which stifle scale and create unsustainable margins, we’re committed to providing funding that leads to sustainable growth or room to breathe. We want every programme to create a chain-reaction of positive change across the North West.
Advancing your mission.
Every charity we help has a different challenge. For some it's about expanding to help more people. For others it's about keeping the lights on to continue their work. Whatever it may be, they each have a mission that sits at the heart of their operation. By helping them to address their challenges, we want our funding to help them advance their mission.
