Angela Kail

Angela leads the Research & Consulting team at NPC, driving the team’s focus on impact and managing its operations. The team supports and partners with organisations to help them articulate their purpose, manage to outcomes, understand their impact and learn. She leads debates in the sector on charity policy and philanthropy and frequently talks to media and at events. Recently Angela has been leading NPC’s work on the Cost of Living Crisis, highlighting the difficulties for charities at the current time.

Over the years at NPC, Angela has worked on a wide variety of consulting projects with both charities and funders. She has provided strategy advice to several large funders, including the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales. She is currently working on an evaluation of Catalytic Capital for the MacArthur Foundation.

Angela works closely with many philanthropists, helping them with their giving strategy; conducting due diligence on charities; and evaluating the performance of the grants. She also advises impact investors on the impact of their giving.

Angela was instrumental in developing NPC’s approach to theory of change, shared measurement and work with philanthropists.

Angela joined NPC in 2007 and prior to that was an investment analyst at Baillie Gifford for three years, one of the UK largest fund managers.
