Government launches new strategy to spread philanthropy across the UK
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has issued a paper setting out how the Government will work in partnership with philanthropists to strengthen place-based philanthropy.
The 'Our Place to Give' plan aims to connect philanthropists with local initiatives and organisations, ensuring that donations are spread throughout the country. The roadmap is supported by £1m government funding over three years to help organisations share their expertise, as well as opportunities for match-funding.
The plan also sets out other key actions, including appointing a network of regional philanthropic advisers to strengthen links between philanthropists, communities and government, and an emphasis on collaboration between the government and financial services sector to provide better philanthropic advice.
