Philanthropy and benchmarking reports and more
As a few clients have asked for it lately, and because it’s useful for me to have everything in one place where I can find it (!), I thought I would collate a few recent reports and papers principally focusing on philanthropy. Links to over 40 reports from NCVO, Enthuse, Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), Blackbaud, M+R, Charity Digital Skills Report, The Beacon Collaborative, JustGiving, Open I B Corp, Association of Charitable Foundations and NPC (New Philanthropy Capital) and others are all there. Bookmark it to read at your leisure, or when you need a bit of sectoral research to help frame your thinking! Do let me know if you would like me to add any others. I hope it’s helpful.
