Perspectives on trendsnot much data yet on 2008 -2009
however, 2007/08 trends likely continuing/ exacerbating
eg Unison, NSPCC, Russam GMS, Charity Commission -
reports re staff / service cuts
eg Individual Giving Survey, INVESTEC, CGAP study, anecdotal – exceptions CFN, Haiti
2007/08
largest 300 had small fundraising increase of £258m
rise of from £5 to £5.3 billion; growth just real 0.9%
2/5 of the largest 300 experienced reduction;
fundraising income of top 10 grew at real 2.3%
top 10 income accounted for ¼ of top 300

Trends in charitable trusts
Baker Tilly survey (majority expecting investment income falls), Carnegie, BLF doing well,
Wellcome recovery but..
2007/08
charitable expenditure of the top 300 grant-making trusts in 2007/08 was £3.4 billion
grant-making showed a 38% real increase on the previous year, almost entirely due to huge
increase disbursements of BLF, and an increase in Wellcome Trust’s expenditure:
excluding BLF and Wellcome, grant-making grew only by real 1.6%
there was little general increase in grants expenditure across the board, and two-fifths of
trusts saw a real-terms fall in the value of their grant-making;
any significant increases in grants expenditure were largely due to one-off, large and
specialized grants (excl BLF and Wellcome)

Trends in corporate giving 2007/08
pharmaceutical, supermarket, extraction and insurance sectors ousting dominance of
financial services
reported Worldwide Corporate Investment increased in 11 of top 20 corporate donors, in
spite of recession (balance between cash and in-kind is not clear)
WCI of top 300 corporate donors moved to new high of £1.7 billion
37% was product donations of AstraZenica & GlaxoSmithKline; if excl, WCI was £1.1 billion
WCI was 1.4% of pre-tax profit if product donations included, and 0.9% if excluded
WCI incl. pharmaceutical product donations grew by real 18%, while profits fell by 28%
excluding pharmaceutical product donations, there was real annual increase of 15%
longer-term trends that after declining in middle of decade, WCI increased

Likely outlook for giving
donated income of the UK’s top fundraising charities during the recession of the early ‘90s.[i]
while total household income began to fall in real terms in 1990, charity income still grew in 1991, subsequently showing falls in 1992 and 1993, and then rising fairly strongly again
over early ‘90s as a whole, donations rose: research indicates that changes in donations move in line with changes in income
.
US data concludes that economic downturns mainly tend to slow down the longer-run growth
2008 report: giving has increased at average real 2.8% pa for the last forty years, but fell in each recession in period [ii].
BUT factors which hold up levels of US giving relate to planned giving, including legacy income.
such giving is related to deferred not current income, so there is a time-lag in impact. Giving by the wealthy is particularly affected by longer-term investment values: spontaneous one-off giving by public is affected by the employment rate.
both factors likely to mean drop in giving, but considerable uncertainty as to how much and when – meantime mitigating?

Key statistics on charitable legacies

Value of estates above IHT threshold £32 billion
Charitable legacies as % of estate value 6%
Individual giving as % of income 1%
Number of reported estates above IHT 54,052
Number of estates with charitable bequests 8,647
Proportion of estates with charitable bequest 16%

Sector reactionsPolitical and economic uncertainties
Sensible and silly – CC report on trust investment management
‘black holes’ in finance and silly figures
Poor quality surveys – mistakes eg claims about corporate figures
Gift Aid fiasco?
Public sector spending cuts – holding breath
Difficulty discerning trends behind changes
Litigious attitudes
Collaboration or competition?
Outlook – not cliff edge, but harder times – sector must show value – values? (NCVO)
