What charities does the Camalote Group sponsor?
The Camalote Group and its members finance a great many public and private funds throughout the city's levels. The breadth and depth of this work is considerable.
However, pursuant to the Lovat City Charter, our disclosures are limited in scope.
Charter §636-11B — Type 11 non-profit organizations are not required to disclose donations and sponsorships except under court order.What does it take to receive an invitation?
There is no application process. The key question is whether a prospective participant can bring a meaningful and interesting perspective to our work. Participants are invited because they can offer a different point of view — not because of station, wealth, or title alone.
How does the invitation procedure work?
Steering Committee members propose invitees to the Chairperson, who consults with the other members of the Steering Committee and decides whether an invitation is issued. There is always comprehensive discussion to ensure maximum diversity in background, views, generations, and gender.
How is the Camalote Group financed?
Annual contributions by members cover only a small portion of the secretariat's costs. The balance is covered through other means the Group is not at liberty to disclose publicly.
Charter §1223-G — Type 11 non-profit organizations are not required to disclose fundraising capital to the public except under court order.
