How One Foundation’s £28 Million Bet on Communities Could Change the Game for Good—And What It Means for You
Future Growth: Foundation Ownership Model
The Foundation’s impact is set to expand dramatically through Michael Shanly’s 2024 announcement that his business empire will eventually be owned entirely by the charitable Foundation. This transition will transform the Foundation from a grant-making organisation funded by business profits into a Foundation that owns profit-generating businesses.
Under this model, profits generated by Shanly Homes and Sorbon Estates will flow directly into charitable activities. Given the substantial scale of these businesses—which have built over 13,000 homes and support more than 1,300 commercial tenants—the Foundation’s annual giving capacity will increase significantly.
