How One Foundation’s £28 Million Bet on Communities Could Change the Game for Good—And What It Means for You
Long-term Relationships: The Foundation builds ongoing partnerships with recipient organisations rather than making one-time grants, enabling more sophisticated and sustained impact.
Responsive Agility: When unexpected needs arise—like the COVID pandemic—the Foundation can mobilise resources quickly without bureaucratic delays.
Integrated Approach: The Foundation’s work complements and extends the community impact of Shanly’s business operations, creating coherent local stewardship.
Looking Ahead: Sustainable Impact
As the Shanly Foundation enters its fourth decade of operation, its transition to Foundation ownership of the underlying businesses represents both continuity and transformation. The model preserves Michael Shanly’s hands-on, community-focused approach while creating a sustainable structure for expanding impact.
