Impetus Trust, the venture philanthropy charity, has formed a partnership with The Fairtrade Foundation, Britain's leading independent authority on Fairtrade. The Foundation works to improve the lives of poor farmers in developing countries by promoting more equable forms of trade. Currently 580 producer groups from 58 countries, representing over 5 million people, benefit from Fairtrade.
Impetus will support The Fairtrade Foundation through its strategic planning process over the next 16 months, with a view to making a longer-term investment at the end.
