Monthly insights into UK Giving

Charities Aid Foundation has been researching UK giving trends since 1975. Earlier reports can be found in our publications library. All of our research is free to read and download. Sign up to receive news of our latest research publications.

Place-based giving
The government's Civil Society Strategy made "place" one of its five key themes. In this research with UK donors we explored this theme and asked for their views on place-based giving.
Trust in the charity sector
Public trust in charities has been thrown into sharp focus in recent months. Over the last year we've been tracking trust in the charity sector month by month and our latest infographic shows how the public's trust in charities is responding.
Contactless donations
Contactless payment technology is being used more and more by charities as a way of accepting donations. So for July's research with UK donors we asked them about their attitudes towards one of these innovations – contactless donation tins.
