World Giving Report 2026: Charity Insights


The World Giving Report is the leading global study on generosity and civil society. The Charity Insights report explores the landscape for social purpose organisations in 33 countries around the world.

Uncovering key trends for the sector, we look at the global funding landscape, the role of lived experience in charity sector recruitment, and how charities around the world are responding to emerging challenges. The report speaks to charities, policymakers and funders as the sector grapples with how to meet ever-increasing demand with often decreasing resources.
