NPC launches joint research venture in India

Donor adviser organization New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) is launching a joint research partnership with Copal Partners in India. The partnership will carry out research into charities in India in the same way as NPC already does in the UK. The aim is to meet growing interest among philanthropists in donating money internationally.

A new NPC report, Philanthropists without borders, concludes that there is a lack of advice for donors on giving in developing countries and that this gap is a barrier to giving. Over 70 per cent of the 122 donors NPC surveyed claimed to be interested in research and advice on charities in developing countries, while a scan of other service providers indicated that the need is not yet being met.
