Tithe, Tax or Trickle Down? Personal Philanthropy Today.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John Wesley\u2019s advice in terms of the morality of personal wealth was that a person should \u2018Earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can\u2019, famously endorsed by Margaret Thatcher in her expectation that a lower taxation economy would mean that money would \u2018trickle down\u2019 to people of lesser means.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How far does personal philanthropy really address fundamentals of deprivation in the UK today? Who gives when, when and why? and what is the best way to enable personal giving and state welfare provision through taxation to work together? And where do churches fit in to this? What relevance do community foundations and the state have in encouraging long term, local giving, now and in the future?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruth Willis, CEO of South Yorkshire\u2019s Community Foundation offers her personal reflection on these questions and examines the place of philanthropy and its relation to the work of communities and the role that churches play. She will include some models of giving through SYCF over the years – the Flood Appeal in 2010, the CSE Fund in 2015, Young Peoples\u2019 Health and Wellbeing Fund, Deakin and Withers Fund – and the many other named Funds managed by the SYCF today.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
