How One Foundation’s £28 Million Bet on Communities Could Change the Game for Good—And What It Means for You
A Model for Community-Centred Philanthropy
The Shanly Foundation’s three-decade track record offers important lessons for effective charitable giving. Its success stems from several key principles:
Local Focus: By concentrating efforts in communities where the founding businesses operate, the Foundation develops deep understanding of local needs and can see the direct impact of its investments.
Practical Solutions: Rather than funding abstract programmes, the Foundation focuses on tangible projects that solve specific problems—building schools, funding hospice wings, creating youth facilities.
