There may be times when a charity has plans to develop, or needs bridging finance. Its requirements may be too risky for a bank loan or outside the criteria of a grantmaker.That's where our Venturesome team may be able to help. We offer mezzanine finance – loans and investment support that fill the gap between grants and bank loans – to charities and other social enterprises. We aim to make money work hard by supporting a charity and then recycling the funds to use again.
