Since its inception, Cripplegate has held a permanent endowment which is invested to allow the Foundation to meet its charitable objectives, which it does by providing grant funding to organisations that are successful in applying for money. This endowment is held in both properties and cash and invested in different ways in order to obtain a regular annual income in order to meet our obligations. The greater part of our endowment is invested with two investment managers, both of which have a remit to generate a steady income return, whilst at the same time doing this in an ethical way that is not in conflict with our goals. Further information can be found in our annual reports, here.
In 2010, Cripplegate Foundation brought together local and national organisations to establish Islington Giving. Cripplegate Foundation chairs the board of Islington Giving, which has raised over £9 million since 2010. We manage and finance all the operational work underpinning Islington Giving, meaning 100% of donations to Islington Giving are awarded as grants to benefit local residents.
Cripplegate Foundation and Islington Giving have a small, passionate, and talented staff team. Cripplegate Foundation is overseen by 15 Governors (equivalent to trustees) who make a huge contribution to our success, and Islington Giving has its own board which includes representatives from leading coalition partners.
No; we do not directly fund individuals. Cripplegate supports individuals through our partner programmes; RSS and Catalyst who distribute the funds on our behalf. To read more please visit our Funding page.
As well as awarding grants, Cripplegate Foundation offers a range of resources to Islington’s residents and voluntary organisations which you can read more about here. This includes:
