The biggest challenges UK government faces, from tackling low economic growth to addressing regional inequalities, adapting to climate change and transforming public service performance, will need to be addressed by harnessing the insight and expertise of people from outside government itself. So what can be done to bring more external expertise into the heart of government?    This event will explore a core conclusion of the IfG Commission on the Centre of Government – that external voices need to be more embedded in decision making in No.10, the Cabinet Office and the Treasury.   The Commission's final report concluded that successive governments had failed to do enough to systemically recruit talented people from outside government and use their skills and insight.   We reflected on the Commission's recommendations and discuss how to improve decision making by amplifying expert voices from outside government.   The panel were:   Baroness Diana Barran, former Minister for Civil Society Sir Ian Cheshire, Chair of Channel 4 and former government lead non-executive director Neil Heslop, Chief Executive of the Charities Aid Foundation Dame Helen Stephenson, former Chief Executive of the Charity Commission for England and Wales   The panel will be chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director and CEO of the Institute for Government.   This event is supported by a grant from Charities Aid Foundation.

According to a report by Charities Aid Foundation, Indonesia is considered the world's most generous nations. Kitabisa Co-founder and CEO Vikra Ijas attributes Indonesia's global leadership in giving over the past six years to "religious and cultural influences" that have shaped "a very collectivist society." Kitabisa is Indonesia's largest online crowdfunding platform for social and personal medical causes. The company last year acquired a life insurance company, largely as an extension to its Saling Jaga offering (trans. "protecting each other), which is a mutual aid program where members can protect each from critical illness. Vikraan, an Endeavor Entrepreneur,  explains the diversification as a move beyond crowd-funding, which is "limited to a more reactive or responsive type of aid," to becoming "more strategic and prepared for future risks, which is facilitated license-wise through insurance." Kitabisa currently facilitates roughly one donation every second, and is moreover now emerging into one of the country's fastest-growing digital life insurance platforms. Vikra also reflects on the persistent guidance and support that Kitabisa's board members have offered the company, particularly e-commerce platform Bukalapak co-founders Achmad Zaky and Fajrin Rasyid.

Lucinda and Andy are joined by Philippa Cornish, head of client experience at the Charities Aid Foundation. They discuss the implications of CAF's report into individual giving, which found a smaller pool of donors giving more led to a total uplift in 2023 in spite of the median monthly figure remaining stagnant at £20 since 2017. Philippa provides suggestions for how charities can encourage donors to adjust their monthly donations in line with inflation, including by enhancing trust, and to contribute to unrestricted funding pots.Charity Changed My Life features the story of a family receiving support from the Martin House Children's Hospice.Do you have stories of people whose lives have been transformed for the better thanks to your charity?

From tackling low economic growth to addressing regional inequalities, from adapting to climate change to transforming public service performance, UK government is facing substantial and urgent challenges. But without radical reform of the centre of government, whoever wins the next election will repeat the failures of previous administrations. The next prime minister must transform No.10, the Cabinet Office and the Treasury. On Monday 11 March, The Rt Hon Sir John Major KG CH and The Rt Hon Gordon Brown spoke at the Institute for Government to launch the final report of the Commission on the Centre of Government. It sets out a plan – ambitious but deliverable – for reforming the centre of government. Over the last year the IfG's Centre Commission has been speaking to people who have worked at the heart of government in the UK and overseas, to devolved governments, industry and civil society leaders and community leaders. Our conclusion is that the centre of government is not equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Fundamental change is needed – and it cannot wait. The first part of the event featured opening speeches from Sir John Major and Gordon Brown. This was followed by panel discussion of the core recommendations of the report. For this discussion we were delighted to be joined by: • Baroness (Louise) Casey, a Commissioner who supported the project, and a crossbench peer and former civil servant • Lord (Gus) O'Donnell, former Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service • Sir Anthony Seldon, Deputy Chair of the Commission on the Centre of Government. The panel was chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director of the Institute for Government and Chair of the Commission on the Centre of Government.

The late John Sharp's gift to the RNLI honours his remarkable family history in helping to save lives at sea  When John Sharp passed away in 2019, he left a generous gift to the Charities Aid Foundation and wrote a letter to his brother, Anthony, with a list of charities to consider as beneficiaries – one of which was the RNLI.  Anthony shares how, in his retirement, John had researched the Sharp family tree, which revealed that his ancestor (also named John Sharp) had commissioned one of Lionel Lukin's patented ‘unimmergible boats' in 1786. This helped the local community on the north-east coast to be better equipped to face the extreme dangers of helping shipwrecked sailors at sea.  With this fascinating family history in mind, Anthony talks about how the family settled on the RNLI as the charity to benefit from John's legacy. He also reveals the exciting news that in 2024, a new Shannon class lifeboat, funded by John's estate and carrying the name John Sharp, will be launched.   200 Voices is produced by Adventurous Audio for the RNLI    Interview by Adventurous Audio Soundtrack composed and performed by Jon Nicholls    The RNLI is a charity celebrating 200 years of saving lives at sea - find out more at RNLI.org/200

Lucinda and Emily are joined by Ashling Cashmore, head of impact and advisory at the Charities Aid Foundation, and Mandy Rollins, chief executive of Disability Solutions West Midlands.Ashling explains the six characteristics of a resilient charity, as described in a framework formulated by CAF to guide charities on a strengthening journey. These include effective leadership, financial and operational fitness, and a clearly articulated and understood sense of charitable purpose and impact.She stresses the importance of ring-fenced funding for long-term investment into organisational sustainability and calls for other funders to support resilience initiatives.Mandy describes how financial and technical support from CAF through its resilience programme has helped DSWM to bounce back from a turbulent few years. She identifies the charity's biggest challenge as being the disconnect between its management team and board of trustees, and blurred lines between strategic and operational responsibility. Charity Changed My Life features the story of Kevin Massiah, who, thanks to a trip organised by the Willow Foundation, was able to take some much-needed respite from the everyday reality of living with Behçet's disease, a rare condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels.

The holidays are a time when many of us give back — whether we're volunteering at a food pantry or donating to a cause we believe in — and this year, our donations could be more important than ever. Nearly 5 million fewer people gave to charity in 2022 than in 2019, according to Charities Aid Foundation. Further complicating the picture is that today, there are more than 1.5 million nonprofits in the U.S., making our choice of where to donate seem almost paralyzing. Soraya Alexander, Chief Operating Officer at GoFundMe and President of Classy joins us to help break down how to decide where your donations (and your time) will make the most impact.  Join us!

There's a common thread that ties together justice, stigma, secrets, and truth: language. The words we use can liberate and unite as easily as they can mislead and isolate. On this episode of Zero Hour™, we're diving into the ways that language barriers can keep Latinx people from seeking and receiving HIV care. We're also exploring how discriminatory language and false conflations (such as equating HIV with AIDS) continue to fuel fear and stigma.   Our guests are:  José Romero, a non-binary Latinx activist currently serving as the Director of Community Advocacy, Education & Research at the Pride Foundation. They recount the experiences that ignited their passion for language justice, detail their own difficult journey to being diagnosed with HIV, and tell us about their work providing translation services for other Spanish speakers living with HIV.  Oliver Ranft, an Ecuadorian international development strategist and grassroots activist currently working with Charities Aid Foundation in Florida. He discusses the societal and religious pressures affecting queer people in Latin America, as well as the role machismo plays in the spread of HIV among women and minorities.    This podcast was created and fully funded by Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Lucinda and Russ are joined by Neil Heslop, chief executive of the Charities Aid Foundation, to discuss how voluntary organisations can maximise their Gift Aid earnings.Neil describes the need to digitise a process that was first introduced in the 1990s, to make it quicker and easier for donors to boost their charitable gifts by 25 per cent and raise a potential £2bn per year. He calls on voluntary organisations to put time and effort into understanding the process, and to participate in an ongoing government consultation on the future of the scheme.Also in the episode, Russ and Lucinda discuss Third Sector's reporting on the departure of Care4Calais' boss. They consider the role of business publications in covering a story that has also attracted the attention of the mainstream media.Do you have stories of people whose lives have been transformed for the better thanks to your charity?

In this episode, Shannon shares her motherhood story. She shares her traumatic entrance into motherhood and describes how she was missing a tribe of mamas that she thought would come afterwards. After Shannon had her second child, she realized that the village of mamas were not coming to find her, so she would have to create it. She wanted to change the way motherhood looked. She talks about the day that everything changed and "Mamas for Mamas'' was born. What originally started out as a small Facebook group has evolved to 62 chapters of "Mamas for Mamas" spread across Canada. Shannon's philosophy is to build longer tables rather than higher fences. She says as far as she can tell, it takes the same amount of wood and effort, however, the outcome is drastically different.Shannon Christensen (born Kimmitt) was born and raised in Kelowna, BC and lives here with her husband of 16 years and her 2 boys. With a BA in Psychology and Masters of counselling psychology specializing in forensics, she has a passion for working with marginalized populations and used this drive to start Mamas for Mamas. This grassroots project has since become a national non-profit organization dedicated to reducing the negative impact of poverty on low-income mothers and their families.Shannon has been recognized as a top 40 under 40 recipient, A Woman to Watch, and was a top 3 finalist for Woman of the Year through The City of Kelowna Civic and Community Awards. Most recently she has co-authored a best selling book about motherhood and has brought home the Meritorious Service Medal from the Governor General of Canada for her work with Mamas for Mamas.Shannonreally likes pickles and making the world a better place.Mamas for Mamas WebsiteFollow Mamas for Mamas on InstagramFollow Mamas for Mamas on FacebookFollow Candace on Instagram

How much might school fundraising income fall over the coming months and years? And what can private schools do to minimise this?These are two questions I've been asked frequently in recent months. In this episode I review philanthropic data from the US, UK and Australia for the 2008 recession and consider why falls in giving weren't as significant as some predicted.

The Key Learning Points:1. The challenges of climbing the career ladder as a woman, as illustrated by the lack of female role models in the industry2. The important role networking plays in career development3. Tips on how to pitch yourself to other people in professional settingsOn this episode, we're fortunate to be joined by Ranila Ravi-Burslem, director of SME solutions at Aviva. Ranila has had rather a philanthropic career path, holding senior and board-level positions across a number of not-for-profit organisations and charities including Action on Hearing Loss, One World Action and the Charities Aid Foundation. She's gone on to a varied career spanning health and financial services and is currently a member of the board at not-for-profit organization, Worldreader, which champions digital reading in underserved communities.Ranila starts off by telling us about her career journey, explaining that purpose is really important to her, which is why her career started off in the not-for-profit sector. She spent time working at Charities Aid Foundation, which was Ranila's first foray into finance. She then moved to NEST, an organisation with a social purpose to provide good quality savings vehicles for low-income people in the UK through workplace pensions. After five years, Ranila moved to Aviva where she now supports small businesses, developing propositions to meet their insurance needs. Ranila holds a senior position at Aviva and we were keen to understand whether she has faced any challenges climbing the career ladder as a woman. Ranila explains: “I walk into meetings and most often I'm the only female in the meeting, and more often than not, I'm the only brown person in the meeting.” Ranila believes that the issue for women tends to be a lack of role models, adding: “When I started at Aviva I was contacted by four or five different women, who I'd never met, saying ‘it's fantastic to see an Indian woman as a director come into the business, because I've never seen one, so I don't know if I can aspire to be one'.” Networking played a huge part in Ranila's career journey, in fact, she admits that pretty much all of her career came as a result of her network and connections. She explains that early on in her career she didn't appreciate the value of having a strong network, but adds: “I realised it wasn't enough to do well, it's important to know the right people internally, as well as externally, and to talk about the fact that you're doing well…If you don't sell yourself, no one is going to”. Putting yourself out there and speaking about your own achievements is not always easy, and Ranila provides her advice around this. She suggests that you start small, and start with the people you know, the people inside your own organisation. Then try looking to people that you haven't yet interacted with, but perhaps should – those who are influential or have done really well in their careers. She suggests setting a goal at conferences to reach out to a certain number of people, which will then become a habit. “Once you get to a certain level, you have to take control of your career and your journey, rather than only following the paths that are opened up to you, you have to forge your own path. You can't do that if you don't know enough people, have enough networks and connections to be able to create that opportunity for yourself.”

Rebecca Cooney discusses fundraising with Paul Amadi from British Red Cross and Victoria Smith from Shelter, plus: the role of technology in fundraising with Rhodri Davies of Charities Aid Foundation; reporting from the IoF Major Donor Conference

There’s been a lot of hype around blockchain. Some say it will revolutionise the way we operate, while others are sceptical of its potential. Now the international development and humanitarian community is beginning to explore how this new technology can be utilised for more effective and transparent activities. In this podcast, we debate whether blockhain can bring transparency and empowerment to donors, NGOs and the people they aim to support. Bond's Lena Bheeroo chats to Rhodri Davies, head of policy at Charities Aid Foundation, and Ben Joakim, CEO of blockchain finance system Disberse.

With the release of the 9th edition of the CAF World Giving Index scheduled for October 30th, join Ted Hart, President & CEO of CAF America,  and Susan Pinkney, Head of Research at Charities Aid Foundation, as we discuss the reports most recent findings!

Episode 4: That's a Lot of Letters The European Union is about to set the bar for digital data privacy. On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will go into effect, giving internet users in the EU broad powers to monitor and control how organizations and businesses keep, manage, and use their personal data. What’s more, the GDPR gives EU citizens rights to their data wherever it’s held – even if that’s in the United States. And in an era when organizations like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica are dominating headlines because of their misuse of personal data, the GDPR poses some compelling questions for U.S. privacy laws, nonprofit data management, and philanthropy in a global age. Jason Bryce, Head of Risk and Compliance with the UK-based Charities Aid Foundation, joins the hosts for perspective.

We focus on Blockchain for Social Good by exploring how blockchain impacts charity with Rhodri Davies. Rhodri is the program director of Giving Thought, a department at the Charities Aid Foundation that focuses on future-facing policy work within philanthropy.

Welcome to episode 2 of the Giving Thought Podcast, brought to you by the Charities Aid Foundation's in house think-tank Giving Thought. In this episode, we look at the role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could play in accelerating new, data-driven approaches to philanthropy. We explore: The rise of algorithms, and what this might mean for philanthropy in terms of creating new challenges and opportunities The "Effective Altruism" movement and how this links to the growth of AI Silicon Valley and the focus on "big bet" philanthropy     Below are links to blog posts and publications on issues discussed in the podcast:   -Robotic Alms: AI and the future of philanthropy advice   -Algorithm is Gonna Get You: what the rise of algorithms means for philanthropy   -Are Some Causes Better than Others? The Effective Altruism Debate   -The Stars My Destination: Philanthropy and the Future of Space Exploration   -Has Mark Zuckerberg Just Announced the Death of the Charitable Foundation?   -Why the Criticism of Mark Zuckerberg's Philanthropy is Both Wrong and Right

Here goes nothing! We are pleased to launch the Giving Thought Podcast, brought to you by the Charities Aid Foundation's in house think-tank Giving Thought. In our first episode, we will be looking at the interplay between philanthropy, charity and politics. Given recent political events around the world and the trend for civil society activism to singled out for special scrutiny for its political influence this seems timely. We have decided to look at this issue from three interesting angles; Scrapping the Johnson amendment: What if President Trump follows through on his pledge to "destroy" the Johnson amendment which restricts the political lobbying of non profits and religious organisations? The emerging legal environment for Chinese civil society: New laws have made life much easier for donors and charities to operate ... as long as you agree with the government. Fake News: The proliferation of false stories targeted at specific audiences online raises problems for charities in getting their message across but also new needs for them to address.   Read related content from Giving Thought   Closing Space or Open Season? What President Trump's latest move means for the future of civil society campaigning. The Johnson Amendment prevents US nonprofits from electoral campainging, but Donald Trump wants to abolish it. Why?   Algorithm Is Gonna Get You: what the rise of algorithms means for philanthropy Algorithms are the automated decision processes that increasingly govern many aspects of our lives and the choices we make. Truth Decay: Philanthropy and the battle against misinformation and fake news Does philanthropy have a vital role to play in combating the widely-publicised threat of “fake news”?

Its giving is directed within the focus areas of food security and nutrition, education and environmental stewardship.
