Urban League of London Honoured with gift from the Estate of Beryl Ivey.
The Urban League of London is honoured and touched by the announcement of two substantial donations from the Estate of the late philanthropist and community leader, Beryl Ivey. $100,000 has been identified by Mrs. Ivey for the conservation and planting of Carolinian trees while a further $100,000 will augment the League's Endowment fund to allow the Urban League to ensure secure funding is in place for its many community enhancing activities.
Like she has throughout her long and productive life, Beryl Ivey's love for and commitment to London continues with this most recent gift. For close to 40 years, the League has served as the umbrella group for London's many neighborhood and community associations. We have sought to improve life in the city through innovative community improvement projects, and by helping Londoners better understand how their municipal government works. We will ensure that this gift helps create a living legacy, one that can be enjoyed by all Londoners for generations to come.
