Engagement

CLSA staff are actively engaged in the grant making process.

A unique aspect of the Chairman’s Trust is the Staff Sponsorship programme. All funded projects require a CLSA employee to champion who is responsible for pre-funding due diligence, funding applications, regular reporting and annual project visits. Staff sponsorship is critical to the success of the Trust, ensuring accountability, active social engagement and awareness for those less fortunate.
