Social Impact Investing

For Philanthropy Fund and Donor Advised Fund Clients

View our brochure

Social impact investment is an innovative approach to philanthropy that entails allocating your account balance to support a charity with a loan or other funding arrangement. Social investment provides long-term capital, which can help your chosen causes to scale up and become more sustainable, for example by providing working capital or by enabling the purchase of assets such as property.

Social impact investment helps your generosity to go further; the investment has the potential to generate a return to your account that can then be recycled into further social investments or grants.

While funds may be returned to your Donor Advised Fund or Philanthropy Fund for the purposes of your giving, funds cannot be returned to you personally. Our set-up and ongoing charges for administering a social impact investment will depend on the complexity of the investment. Please note Stewardship is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and does not offer investment advice. Please read our Investment Disclaimer for further details.
