Launch of Kent University Philanthropy research centre
Please find attached an invitation to the launch of the new Centre for the study of Philanthropy, Humanitarianism and Social Justice (CPHSJ) at the University of Kent, which takes place in the Darwin conference centre on our campus from 6-8pm on Thursday 6th November.
The new Centre will house a research programme on charitable giving and social redistribution, which is part of the national Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Office of the Third Sector, the Carnegie UK Trust and the Scottish Executive.
Our broader aims include:

- The promotion of research dedicated to the study of philanthropic motivations, social patterns of giving and redistributive impacts to create a robust knowledge base about giving decisions and the
consequences of donations - The development of projects investigating institutional processes, cultural conditions, economic arrangements and political contexts that influence people’s decisions to take actions to meet the needs of others.
- Analyses of the impact of philanthropy and humanitarianism on social policy and political processes.
We do hope you will be able to join us to celebrate this exciting development, to hear more about our plans and to receive a copy of our first publication, ‘The Coutts Million Pound Donors Report’.
We do hope to see you on the 6th November, please do RSVP to let us know if you can make it.
With best wishes,
