A steering group for the philanthropy advice field

A steering group of individuals and organizations involved in providing philanthropy advice was created in late 2009 with the aim of stimulating the provision of and take-up of good philanthropy advice in the UK. New Philanthropy Capital’s research, The Business of Philanthropy, concluded that, despite the past decade’s rise in giving, both the demand for and supply of philanthropy advice remain modest at best: few donors actually receive professional advice about their giving, and few professional advisers are integrating philanthropy into their businesses.
