**Manchester City FC is once again inviting fans to vote on how £400,000 will be
spent on on football-inspired charity projects in six countries. This second year
of Cityzens Giving takes the grants made by City Football Group and its partners
to £1 million.**

The campaign is designed to support “young leaders in cities around the world deliver
football inspired projects to young people as a sustainable force for social good”.

This year fans of all City Football Group’s family of Clubs – including Manchester
City FC, New York City FC and Melbourne City FC – have been asked to decide how 
projects are funded by voting for the cause that inspires them the most. The more
votes a project gets, the more funding it will receive.

[Cityzens Giving](http://cityzensgiving.org/manchester) funds projects run by young
leaders in Manchester, New York, Melbourne, Kolkata, Cape Coast and São Paulo, along
with projects from last year’s campaign in Kuala Lumpur, Cape Town and Barranquilla.
These projects have been created to tackle issues like unemployment, social inclusion
and HIV / AIDS.
