Pushing the boundaries of funding - NPC
A big year for social impact and for NPC
For us at NPC, 2022 is our 20th year of existence. 20 years working with, and as part of, this terrific charity and philanthropy sector to help it maximise its social impact. Already this year we are excited by lots of things we have upcoming.
The future of philanthropy, 2030 and beyond
At this year’s NPC Ignites, our annual conference, we hosted a session on the future of philanthropy. As we move toward 2030, this blog explores three key questions for the philanthropy sector to contemplate.
Impact measurement for flexible funding
For most funders, impact measurement is one of the feedback loops that drives grant-making decisions, so we can’t rethink grant-making without rethinking the way we measure impact and learn from our grants.
How philanthropists should respond to coronavirus
A collaborative effort to help philanthropists keep charities serving throughout the coronavirus crisis, and prepare for whatever challenges the post-covid world will hold.
How to combat the issue of rising needs and declining resources
When the economy dips, needs rise and the resources open to charities dip too. What we need is a system that is effective at stopping this 'scissors effect' and at meeting needs, not just where, but when they arise.
How every philanthropist and funder can protect our environment
What we learnt from our recent Funder Drop-In on how every charity has a role to play in protecting the environment.
In search of a standard grant application
A standard grant proces has been talked about for a long time. Launched earlier this month, Brevio aims to be an answer. In this guest blog, founder and Chair Marcelle Speller explains how it works and why they set it up.
Can legacy income be brought forward?
We’ve been testing an idea from Anthony Bolton, Paul Spencer and Tom Skwarek, with advice from Bates Wells, to make legacy donations available for charities today through an accelerated legacy plan. In this guest blog, Anthony Bolton shares what motivated him to pursue the idea.
Accelerated legacies
The Accelerated Legacy Plan is a new idea developed by Anthony Bolton, Paul Spencer and Tom Skwarek, with advice from specialist lawyers Bates Wells. NPC conducted a feasibility study to test whether their idea could work.
Why government and philanthropists must come together for charities now
The country is in a very deep crisis. We are working with philanthropists and partners on how they can more effectively fund charities now. And we want to hear more ideas about what can be done.

More than grants collection: Pushing the boundaries of funding
As a country we face huge challenges. These challenges present questions for everyone who funds charities. It’s time to ask whether charitable foundations in the UK are doing enough—and are doing the right things—to support the voluntary and community sector.
