There will also be an event to recognise 30 years of corporate philanthropy in Northern
Ireland by Lloyds Bank Foundation for Northern Ireland (formally Lloyds TSB Foundation
for Northern Ireland). Representatives from 30 organisations across the sector will
explore common challenges and future needs in order to inform the Foundation’s ongoing
grant making in Northern Ireland.

Philanthropy Fortnight will include sessions on giving circles and the role of professional
advisers.
