Strategic research & fundraising consultancy for the non-profit sectorTwitter
Why do philanthropists set up their own grant-making trust or foundation?
We have compiled the research we carry out each month for our New Trust Update report into a briefing paper. In the paper we give detail on the backgrounds of the people who are setting up new grant-making trusts and foundations in the UK and identify 6 key motivations.
A new edition of Trust Fundraising has just been published by the Directory of Social Change including a (very) revised chapter by me, Chris, on trusts as funding partners.
In the new edition, I have emphasised partnership between trusts and nonprofits, talked about the growth of the sector (using data from Factary’s New Trust Update publication) and touched on Venture Philanthropy. I discuss (briefly – it’s only 8 pages long!) the trend toward individuals structuring their philanthropy.
The book includes research, perspectives, advice on relationships with trusts and material on foundations in the USA. At £24.95, it’s a bargain.
