Every year the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation holds a thought leadership event where we invite an expert speaker and a panel to talk over an issue that is a priority for us. We call this our Inspiring Philanthropy Oration.  We not only want to inspire people to get involved in long term philanthropy but also to do inspiring philanthropy.
