Programme
Research
A yearly report on the needs, capacity and impact of faith-based and community organisations, from anonymised data shared with consent.
Why it matters
Funders and government often lack reliable information about what community and faith-based organisations need and where support makes a difference.
The foundation's yearly report draws on anonymised, aggregated data that organisations choose to share. No individual or organisation can be identified from it.
Registered objective
To conduct and publish research on the needs, capacity and impact of community and faith-based organisations.
Use the research, or help fund it.
Funders, government departments and sector bodies can ask for the report or partner on the research.
