UK Centre for Philanthropy Studies Opens Doors

The centre will support high-quality research aimed at influencing policy and practice decisions in the UK, as well as developing knowledge and theory about charitable and philanthropic issues.

Professor Jenny Harrow from Cass Business School, the director of the new centre, commented: "We aim to be a centre of excellence for independent, high quality, innovative, strategic research, enhancing the evidence base to inform charitable giving and philanthropy development, as well as a hub for engaging national and international stakeholders, for capacity development and knowledge exchange."
