We’ve long been supporters of Place Based Giving. Based on the notion that we all have something to give- whether that be time, skills, expertise or money – place based giving schemes bring communities together to channel those resources into aligned action and build a better borough for everyone.
London Funders is currently supporting place-based giving schemes across the capital to get off the ground, develop and grow. The support that London Funders offers is responsive and tailored to the needs of our network and the environment they operate in. To read more, head to London’s Giving website.
Alongside our work on place based giving we support collaboration via our local funder forums, and contribute to the national and global conversation about the importance of place, citizen voice and cross-sector partnership to systems change. In 2021, we launched our Advisory Group on Place, a space to provoke discussion among funders and civil society about place in the context of London. As part of this group, we published two reports with Renaisi:
- ‘What next for ‘place’ in the capital’s funding landscape?’ which explores the relevance of Place for London
- Looking Beyond London: UK and international perspectives on place based funding which draws together learning and examples from funders in Scotland, Montreal, New York and Bradford
We want to provide the space for longer-term, strategic thinking around place. If you're interested in finding out more about our work in this area, please contact Helen.
