Donate to Five Talents in your Will
A donation in your will to Five Talents will help us to empower individual entrepreneurs in the developing world and allow them to create a better life for their families and friends. Your donation will continue making a difference as loans are repaid over and over again, however big or small. For example, just £100 will help to build an established business while £1,000 will help fund a mixed group of entrepreneurs, and both will be recycled many times over.

Donate to Five Talents in Memory
With Five Talents' microfinance model, individual entrepreneurs repay loans, together with interest. The interest pays for all of the local running costs. A donation will be used over and over again, to generate jobs, fight poverty and transform lives. Your donation to Five Talents will allow the memory of your loved one to continue to live on, creating hope for others in the future.
An "in memory" donation can be arranged at any time, whether to commemorate a birthday, anniversary or other special date.
Five Talents is a member of the Fundraising Standards Board and folows their code of practice in fundraising - meaning you can give with confidence. Click here for more information about FRSB.
Will My Donation Make a Difference?
Yes it will! For instance:
- £25 is a starting loan for an entrepreneur - loaned and repaid many times over
- £100 builds an established business
- £1,000 funds a mixed group of entrepreneurs
- £25,000 starts a new loans project
Loans are repaid with interest- which pays for all the local running costs. Each loan is repaid and loaned again approximately every 6 months. This re-cycling means that your donation will continue to generate jobs over and over again. For example, a £1000 donation will generate over 10 jobs in the first 6 months; and a total of 100 jobs over 5 years – benefiting around 500 families and dependents.
Please join us in making a difference in so many lives.
How will your Gift be Used?
Your gift will automatically be allocated to the greatest need, in line with our 2010 strategy. However it is possible to request how you would like your gift to be used – just let us know when you make your donation. You can specify which country or project you would like your gift to be used in. Contact the office for more details.
