Non-financial support

We use our people, networks and experience to bolster our financial support, as we believe that truly impactful philanthropy includes the giving of skills, time and talent as well as money. We often refer to this as our ​‘Total Assets’ approach.

In this way we ensure everyone makes the most of the resources available to them. We offer help to those we are funding to boost their impact and provide support to those not already receiving funding from us.

Working alongside our Trustee, the City of London Corporation, we also encourage more, and better giving in the City, in the UK, and overseas.

These programmes have been designed to support London’s civil society organisations with non-financial resources by leveraging: 

• our links to civil society, other funders and the wider funding ecology

• the expertise and networks of our trustee, the City of London Corporation

• our physical infrastructure: our bridges, properties and green spaces

• our communications infrastructure: our website and other channels

• our convening power and our role as commissioner of products and services

• our human capital: especially volunteers
