Philanthropy UK is the leading resource for free and impartial advice to aspiring philanthropists who want to give effectively. We develop and share current information and best practice on giving; provide accessible links to specialists; and aim to inspire more people to become philanthropic and so enjoy the extraordinary rewards this brings. We are a project of the Association of Charitable Foundations.
Community giving appears to be gaining ground among philanthropists. Four out of five philanthropists give locally according to a new survey by Coutts & Co. Giving circles, in which philanthropists commune around an interest, are also gaining in popularity. In this issue we present the distinct pleasure and satisfaction philanthropists enjoy when giving to communities and in communities, and offer advice for those who want to join them.
