As we approach the end of the year, the team at nfpResearch would like to take a moment to wish all our partners, clients, and friends in the charity sector a joyful holiday season. It’s been an eventful year for us, filled with meaningful research, new initiatives, and exciting opportunities to share our findings with you. This has included a refresh of our product line, and the addition of our sector data monitor nfpIntelligence.

Media coverage is one of the many barometers that we use to measure the current state of public engagement and support for the charity sector. In our latest nfpIntelligence figures, however, we can’t help but notice a concerning trend for the end of 2024: stagnancy.

We all love an underdog story. David besting Goliath, Leicester City’s 2016 Premier League win, or the most culturally significant of all, Rocky beating Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. While the villainous Drago is put through his paces by a team of well-equipped and well-funded Soviet scientists, Rocky meanwhile is chasing chickens, punching slabs of meat, and training in a run-down Philadelphia gym. You’re already humming Eye of the Tiger.
We’ve spoken at length about the Royal Family and their long history of charitable involvement. Following the passing of the Queen, we shared a retrospective of her record of charity patronage, and spoke about the direction we might expect the new king to take as he takes over or shares the various roles previously occupied by his mother.
Paul Ramsbottom, Chief Executive of the Wolfson Foundation
We have a clear ambition at the Wolfson Foundation to be a listening, responsive and open organisation, staffed by people who care deeply about supporting the sectors we serve.
Philippa Wilkinson, Learning Officer at Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
We commissioned nfpResearch to find out about people's experiences of working with us and what changes we might need to make. In 2022, we shared the full report and our initial reflections on the findings.
