Thank you for the report. My only comment would be that it's not as substantial, in-depth, or revealing as many of your previous reports have led me to expect.

Hello Helen,

Many thanks for your comment. We envisioned our Facts and Figures series to be short overviews of a particular topics. We are working on a larger more holistic report on Grant-makers relationships with charities at the moment. It is going to be ready early 2018. Please do keep an eye on our website not to miss out.
