Responding to the release of the Sunday Times Giving List 2025, NPC CEO Jonathan Simmons said:
“It’s great to see an overall increase in donations from the wealthy this year. Our aim should be to see that increase continue every year.
We’re working to increase philanthropic giving and grow the impact sector. We’re also encouraging philanthropists to think more about their impact. It’s great to give, but understanding the difference you make to get the most value for money is equally important.”
