As we transition to a low-carbon city, philanthropy has a role to play in supporting research and innovative solutions and in ensuring that we “leave no one behind.”

Convening is a central part of the DNA of many foundations, providing a safe space for new conversations about current challenges to take place

At LMCF, we have committed to building a Knowledge Hub on our website and within everything that we do.

I am inspired by some strengthening trends in philanthropy, particularly the concept of Systems Philanthropy, which aims to focus on some of philanthropy’s work on systems change – “on identifying the organisations and individuals already working on a problem, and helping them join forces to achieve their common good.”

With the festive season almost upon us, it is an important time to reflect on what it means to be part of a healthy, happy and cohesive community. Community plays a vital role in our wellbeing, providing a sense of place, purpose and belonging.
