New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) is a consultancy and think tank dedicated to helping funders and charities to achieve a greater impact. It provides independent research and tools and advice for charities and funders, in the UK and internationally.
NPC's mission is to put effectiveness at the heart of how charities work and how funders give, so that more lives can be changed for the better. Our vision is a world in which charities and their funders are as effective as possible in improving people's lives and creating lasting change to tackle social problems.
For charities, this means focusing on activities that achieve a real difference, using evidence of results to improve performance, making good use of resources, and being ambitious to solve problems. This requires high-quality leadership and staff, and good financial management.
For funders, this means understanding what makes charities effective and supporting their endeavours to become effective. It includes using evidence of charities' results to make funding decisions and to measure their own impact.
