How we work together

understanding giving

Our research gives us unique insight into charitable giving. We provide free research and analysis that helps to inform charities, companies, donors, policy-makers, researchers and journalists. Our unique UK Giving research and CAF World Giving Index are among the most influential pieces of charity research published annually. For this, and our full suite of research, visit the CAF Research Hub.
