- £250: Invest in a community development finance institution, which lends and invests in deprived areas that cannot access mainstream finance
- £1,000: Become a Pilotlighter, giving three hours of your time and expertise each month to help charities become more sustainable
- £7,500: Join the Ashoka Support Network, and engage with individual social entrepreneurs and visit their projects
- £40,000: Invest in the venture philanthropy Sutton Strategic Philanthropy Fund which supports educational opportunities for young people from non-privileged backgrounds
- £100,000: Invest in the Venturesome Fund, a social investment vehicle which provides unsecured loans, underwriting and other financing to organisations that have no other access to capital
