Philanthropy Strategy

The City Corporation and its associated charities enjoy a proud track record of philanthropy. Following a number of reviews undertaken in recent years, a Strategy had been developed to maximise and focus the City Corporation’s efforts in this area.

This new overarching strategy bound together the relevant elements of the City Corporation’s Corporate Plan with the City Bridge Trust’s “Bridging Divides” strategy and aligned much more explicitly with those of related charities such as The Lord Mayor’s Appeal and Heart of the City.

The City Bridge Trust and Policy and Resources Committees had considered and approved this Strategy and it was presented to the Court for information.

Resolved – That the Philanthropy Strategy be noted.
