Each NPC charity recommendation consists of a two-page fact sheet that:
- provides an independent perspective on each charity: the issue it addresses, its activities and how private funding can help
- includes metrics, such as an assessment of risk and the difficulty of fundraising
- gives a snapshot of the charity at a specific point in time.
These charity recommendations are examples of highly effective charities operating in the sectors NPC has analysed to date - but do not represent a league table.
Below is a list of all NPC's charity recommendations in alphabetical order. We also have a tool that helps you to search for a charity according to your own criteria, such as a specific cause, geography or size. Begin a search now.
All of NPC's charity recommendations are available to download (in pdf format). Once you have registered or logged in, simply click on the links below.
