Where do I start?
Giving is a very personal act, and there is no ‘right’ strategy. It is a question of what matters to you, what you want to achieve and how you wish to approach your philanthropy. It does not need to be scientific to be done well, and following just a few key principles will help you to give effectively.
Your Giving Journey – which includes links to more detailed information – is designed to help get you started.
This directory of research reports and publications represents a body of work worth hundreds of thousands of pounds and features some of the latest thinking on philanthropy trends. You can search for reports by topic or title.
The Philanthropy Directory is the comprehensive guide to the wide range of charitable services and products for UK givers. Whatever your level of giving, this Directory connects you to information and resources that will help you to give effectively, and to feel confident about your giving - from databanks of possible charities you can support, to advisory services specially tailored to your personal interests and giving. It also includes detailed profiles of many of these charitable organisations.
