New Charity Trends uncovered by CAF
Howard Lake | 26 June 2003 | News
CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) launches its authoritative annual publication, Charity Trends, today. The report details the financial resources of UK charities and updates current statistics on their income and expenditure. The extended 24th edition also provides a groundbreaking new picture of five-year trends.
According to Cathy Pharoah, Director of Research at CAF and author of the report, ‘This is the first time we have taken a wider and longer-term look at trends in the income and expenditure of the top 1000 charities and come up with a definitive view of their health.’
This year’s edition of Charity Trends not only provides details on the top 500 fundraising charities, it also updates figures for their donors, including the top 500 grantmaking trusts and foundations, the top 500 corporate worldwide community investors, and tax-efficient donations from the general public.
For the first time, the highlights book the major income-earners for legacy and event fundraising, and identifies some of the local and emerging fundraising sub-sectors – hospitals and hospices, museums, galleries and arts institutions, including a detailed look at five-year trends in the income of universities.
Widely regarded as the most comprehensive analysis of the resources and expenditure of the UK’s fundraising charities to date, the book will be invaluable to charity managers planning future income-earning strategies and policy-makers concerned with the sector’s financial resources.
This is also the first year that Charity Trends will be available on CD Rom. In addition to the entire contents of the book, the CD version includes new graph functions, full financial profiles of the top 500 charities and over 50 search fields.
The 24th edition of Charity Trends (previously Dimensions) is available for £129.00 (book) or £179.00 (CD Rom). Copies can be ordered from CaritasData by calling Tel: 0207 566 8210.
