<p><strong>Grantmakers have increased their spending during the pandemic</strong></p> <p>Using expenditure data from the Charity Commission annual return, the median annual spend for a 360Giving publisher which is a registered charity (mostly comprising of trusts and foundations) in England and Wales was 拢3.3 million in 2020-21, compared to around 拢2.5 million between 2017-18 and 2019-20.</p> <p>This data is based on those registered charities that have Charity Commission records for all the years included, as records for the 2020-21 financial year are not yet complete. The records represent 62% of funders who have returned data to the Charity Commission.</p> <p>Looking at individual funders, 55% increased their spending by more than 10% compared to the average of the three previous years, while 20% of funders saw a decrease.</p> <p>These figures are also born out by looking at the published 360Giving data for these funders. 50% of funders with complete grants data across those years saw an increase in grant amounts.</p> <div class="flourish-embed flourish-chart" data-src="visualisation/7924888"></div> </section> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="layout__footer"> <div class="prose prose--left spacer-4"> <nav class="prose__section"> <a class="button button--teal" href="/grant-recipients/people-supported/">< People supported by grant recipients</a> <a class="button button--teal" href="/funding-patterns/multiple-funders/">Grants from multiple funders ></a> </nav> </div> <footer class="footer footer--compact"> <div class="footer__row wrapper__left footer__small-print"> <div class="footer__column-1"> <div class="footer__logo"><img src="https://cdn.threesixtygiving.org/images/360-giving-logo-white.svg" alt="360Giving"></div> </div> <div class="footer__column-2 footer__policy-links"> <p> <strong>360 Giving</strong> (Trading as <strong>360Giving</strong>) is a registered charity <a href="https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regId=1164883&subId=0">1164883</a> and a registered company <a href="https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09668396">09668396</a>. <br>Registered address: 360Giving, c/o Esm茅e Fairbairn Foundation, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG. </p> </div> </div> <div class="footer__row wrapper__left footer__small-print"> <div class="footer__column-2"> <p>漏 Copyright 2021 360Giving.<br>Licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p> </div> <div class="footer__column-2 footer__policy-links hide-print"> <p> <a href="https://www.threesixtygiving.org/privacy/">Privacy Notice</a> | <a href="https://www.threesixtygiving.org/terms-conditions/">Terms & Conditions</a> | <a href="https://www.threesixtygiving.org/cookie-policy/">Cookie Policy</a> | <a href="https://www.threesixtygiving.org/take-down-policy/">Take Down Policy</a> </p> </div> </div> </footer> </footer> </div> <div role="dialog" aria-labelledby="cookie-dialog-title" aria-describedby="cookie-dialog-desc"> <div class="base-card base-card--new cookie-consent"> <div class="base-card__content"> <h2 class="base-card__title" id="cookie-dialog-title">Allow analytics cookies? <br> <a class="base-card__text" href="https://www.threesixtygiving.org/privacy/"> More Information & Privacy Policy</a> </h2> <p class="base-card__text"> <a href="#" onclick="_paq.push(['rememberCookieConsentGiven']); hideCookieConsentDialog(true);" class="button">Yes</a> <a href="#" onclick="noCookieConsent(); hideCookieConsentDialog(true);" class="button">No</a> <a href="#" onclick="_paq.push(['optUserOut']); hideCookieConsentDialog(true);" class="button">Disable Analytics</a> </p> <p id="cookie-dialog-desc" style="font-style: italic;">360Giving uses privacy-respecting analytics.
