Paul Streets OBE, CEO of Lloyds Bank Foundation, leads a corporate foundation that represents a modern approach to purpose-driven initiatives. In the UK, there are over 100 corporate foundations, each unique in size, income generation methods, and impact strategies. In England and Wales, corporate foundations function as independent charities with their own boards and staff, registered with the Charity Commission, following a similar model worldwide. Traditionally, corporate foundations were primarily seen as vehicles for corporate giving and employee volunteering. However, today's corporate foundations operate independently and prioritise addressing critical societal issues, even if they don't align entirely with the corporate entity's goals. Corporate foundations are guided by need, supported by research, and staffed by professionals who deeply understand the causes they support, resulting in ambitious, innovative, and cutting-edge approaches to making a difference. One of the largest corporate foundation, Lloyds Bank Foundation, has a history nearing four decades, annually donating more than £20 million to charitable causes in England and Wales. Despite its affiliation with the founding FTSE 100 company, it operates with its own distinct purpose, organisational structure, independent board, and executive team. These elements drive its grant-making activities, fulfilling its mission to assist small, local charities, individuals, and communities. Paul Streets OBE, CEO of Lloyds Bank Foundation, joins Purposely Podcast to share his journey across various sectors, from the voluntary and public sectors to international development, human rights, professional and service regulation, and health and social care. His diverse experiences include leadership roles at organisations like Diabetes UK, the Health Development Agency, and the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board. He also holds an Honorary Visiting Professorship at Cass Business School, City University of London, and serves as a Member of the BBC Appeals Advisory Committee. With four degrees and an OBE for his services to people with diabetes, Paul's commitment to social impact is evident. Under Paul's leadership, Lloyds Bank Foundation is dedicated to partnering with small grassroots charities and collaborating with local organisations and communities. This collaborative approach ensures that individuals facing complex challenges receive the necessary support and opportunities to overcome them. At the core of their work is a focus on the needs and aspirations of the people they aim to assist. Their strategy revolves around strengthening small and local charities, advocating for a better future, and supporting community growth. They achieve this through unrestricted funding, organisational development support, and policy advocacy, empowering small charities, fostering resilient communities, and helping individuals transform their lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-longbottom2/message

Once there was a massive public housing project located at the intersection of North 24th and Paul Streets in the Near North Side neighborhood. Originally named the “Northside Village Public Housing Project,” the name was officially changed in honor of the famous Omaha tribe leader Logan Fontenelle. Starting in the late 1970s, these projects were unofficially known as “Little Vietnam”. Help us meet expenses and keep the light on at the North Omaha History Podcast by becoming a patron.

In the fifth Alliance audio podcast editor Charles Keidan hosts a discussion with Paul Ramsbottom of the Wolfson Foundation, and Carol Mack of the UK Association of Charitable Foundations. In our last podcast Paul Streets of corporate funder the Lloyds Bank Foundation and Dan Corry of think-tank New Philanthropy Capital call on foundations to give more core funding to grantees, collaborate better with fellow funders, be bolder in their advocacy and, most of all, be much more transparent. Streets argued that the majority of foundations simply aren’t transparent enough. ‘You look at a lot of foundations and you wouldn’t even know who they fund, where they fund or what they fund. That’s not transparent. And if you’re not transparent, then you open yourself up to accusations of being secretive and therefore not trusted.’ So should foundations do more to be – and be seen to be - transparent, trusted and effective? In short, should philanthropy be doing better? To discuss these questions, two prominent figures in the UK foundation sector, Paul Ramsbottom and Carol Mack. Carol is the CEO of the Association of Charitable Foundations, which represents the interests of British foundations. Paul is CEO of the Wolfson Foundation, one of the country’s largest foundations with annual grants edging £30 million.

Welcome to the fourth Alliance Audio. In this podcast Alliance editor Charles Keidan hosts a discussion with Dan Corry, chief executive of New Philanthropy Capital, and Paul Streets, the chief executive of the Lloyds Bank Foundation. The value of foundation grants to the voluntary sector now exceeds grants made by government; this makes foundations potentially powerful forces for good in society. Yet Dan Corry and Paul Streets argue that foundations are falling short in two main areas - the power which grantees have and the lack of core funding, specialist staff and office space. They comment on the need for foundations to be bolder in speaking out and acting as agents of change themselves. The discussion touches on the transparency of foundations, the level of support they give to grantees, the importance of core funding, and the current state of trust across philanthropic institutions.
