Funding List and Analysis for 2007

In addition to producing our annual review, we have also compiled two other related documents:

The first is a list of all of the groups we funded in 2007. This includes a short description of the organisation, what it was funded for, and the amount awarded.

The second is a statistical analysis of the funding we provided in 2007. It includes the amount of funding we provided under each of our aims, the average size of funding awarded, the types of groups we supported and the geographical location of where the work (we are funding) is taking place - as well as much more.

Annual Review 2007

CPF and TfL "prize independence", chair says

Staff and trustees of City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London prize their independence, chair Nigel Pantling says in his Foreword to the 2007 Annual Review.

Independence "enables us to use our considerable financial clout to help deserving but unpopular causes which receive little backing from other funders", Nigerl Pantling points out.

"It also gives us credibility," he adds. "It allows us to campaign directly on issues that we feel strongly about, and to press Government agencies and Ministers to make change happen.

"And our independence allows us to take risks where others will not, for example by backing innovative schemes that take new approaches or which help those on the fringes of traditional definitions of poverty. This fits well with our reluctance to let our charitable funds directly replace Government money, because many of the organisations we fund receive no State backing."

The Review provides a brief overview of activity under each priority in the current five year quinquennium - of which 2007 was the first year - and provides examples of some of the innovative schemes which CPF and TfL have funded.

Challenges - Reflections on funding and change in London 1986-2007

This new report looking at the work of City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London over the past 21 years, the changes that have occurred and both what has worked and what has not worked. The aim has been to bring out the lessons which it is hoped will prove valuable to trustees, staff and advisors for the future, and other funders.

Challenges: reflections on funding and change in London 1986-2007 was written by former Clerk to the Trustees Tim Cook who concludes that ‘grant-making is an art not a science’.

The report describes some of the major initiatives which the Foundation and Trust have undertaken, and provides sources of further information.

Copies of the reports can be downloaded here in pdf format below. Printed copies are available from CPF, telephone 0207 606 6145.
