Recent analysis in Third Sector explores the current funding landscape for UK charities and its impact on grant-makers, featuring insights from ACF chief executive Carol Mack and director of policy, practice and research Catherine Seymour, and the experiences of some ACF member foundations. As highlighted in Emily Harle's article, while other funding sources have declined, grants from foundations remain one of the few stable sources of support for charities. This has led to some notable trends among grant-makers: ?? Application volumes have increased significantly for many funders ?? Many grant teams are adapting their processes to manage higher demand ?? Some funders are pausing new grant-making to review and adjust their programmes to better serve the charities, organisations and individuals they support. Carol and Catherine discuss how ACF members are responding to these challenges and the importance of collaboration between funders when considering programme changes, to understand the impact on the wider ecosystem.

This year's Sunday Times Giving List reveals that the top 100 donors gave an impressive ￡3.233 billion, yet this marks a ￡208 million decline from last year. Our Chief Executive, Neil Heslop OBE, emphasises: “It is a challenging time for charities as they face rising demand for their services alongside higher costs, so it is concerning that the Giving List this year indicates that giving is down. We must find new ways to foster a renewed culture of giving in the UK.” As we celebrate those who continue to give so generously, it is more important than ever that those who can afford to give are inspired, so that together we give more. ___________________________________________ Since 2005, we've partnered with The Sunday Times to produce the Giving List, part of the annual Rich List, which tracks the philanthropic activity of more than a third of Britain’s 350 wealthiest people.

Research from the Charity Commission shows that understanding where charity funds go and ensuring they fulfil their goals are crucial for building public trust. However, the Commission's research also shows trustees are "less sure about" making decisions based on personal views or recognising conflicts of interest. Liz Brownsell, Partner and Head of Charities at Birketts, explores this issue in an article in The Times:?https://lnkd.in/ezxE9hUf #Charity #PublicTrust #Trustees #LegalInsight

Partnering with commercial entities can be beneficial for charities, offering opportunities to access new funding sources and increase public awareness, yet they are not devoid of reputational and relationship risks. Formalising these partnerships with legal agreements is a key solution for mitigating risks. Speaking to Charities Management, our senior associate Natalie Barbosa, shares how new guidance, issued by the Fundraising Regulator, could help to smooth the way for these valuable commercial partnerships.

This is really important strategically for our sector. #Charitable #Grantmakers by themselves won't be able to shoulder the demand entirely. Rectifying the dire state of #LocalGovernment finances but also improving #Corporate giving and #Philanthropy, getting it higher up the policy agenda has to be part of the solution in my opinion. Also getting the #DormantAssets actually deployed to communities via #CommunityWealthFund(s).
??Amid a serious decline in funding - from government, local authorities and individual donations - grants from charitable foundations are one of the few funding streams that has remained stable during a time of increased demand for charities. Emily Harle's analysis in Third Sector explores how this demand is shifting upstream and the impact it is having on grantmakers. https://lnkd.in/em7qTbv6 ???????? ????????????????: 1. ?? Surge in applications: Association of Charitable Foundations members report staggering increases in application volumes – ranging from 30% to an overwhelming 100%. 2. ???Capacity constraints: grantmakers face the delicate balance of managing this surge, usually with a very small staff team, while maintaining fair, effective evaluation processes. 3. ?? Adaptive responses from funders: - Increasing funding allocations - Restructuring grant programmes to better align with charities' needs - Streamlining decision-making processes - Reducing administrative burden on applicants 4. ?? Temporary Pauses: Some grantmakers have had to temporarily suspend new applications while implementing these essential changes. At Association of Charitable Foundations we emphasise the importance of collaboration between funders. When grantmakers consider pausing their programmes, we encourage dialogue with other funders to understand the ecosystem-wide impact of such decisions. #CharitableFunding #Philanthropy #NonprofitSector #GrantMaking #SocialImpact?

It's tough out there! Charities are under incredible strain after years of cuts and austerity that have caused them to be needed more than ever by their communities. It is a perfect storm. More need. More red tape. More legislation Higher prices Less funding from All sources as funders, individuals, businesses struggle with the same issues And governments make cuts which cause more problems Charities pick up the pieces of the mess they make The announcement of the closure of Zoes Place in Liverpool is another example of the challenges the sector faces. Hundreds of charities are closing and vital services lost. Many charity staff are burning out, becoming ill or giving up in desperation and exhaustion. It is not bad management. It is unprecedented times. There has never been a greater need for people to give and support their local charities. Give without expecting lots of the charity's time. Give without tieing up the money to projects which means they can't pay staff or bills. Offering time is great but doesn't pay the bills. Regular, unrestricted giving, even in small amounts is like gold dust. Together we can make a difference.
