UK Centre for Philanthropy Studies Opens Doors

The collaborative effort aims to build a better understanding of charitable giving and philanthropy among third sector organisations—i.e. charitable and voluntary organisations—government, and business in the hope of helping to increase support for the public good.

Phil Hope, Minister for the third sector commented: "Having a dedicated research centre for giving will help us to better understand the motivations behind why people give and the reasons why they choose to give in particular ways."
