This year’s survey suggests that 2022 is a year of change for the charity sector
Many charities continue to feel the longer-term impacts of the pandemic, while widespread concern over inflation, a cost-of-living crisis and geopolitical uncertainty have provided a challenging backdrop for investment strategy and performance.
Nevertheless, some trends remain unchanged – responsible investing and ethical considerations continue to be important topics for charities as they come under increasing pressure from stakeholders.
Some of the highlights
-
-
In 2022, inflation is now the main concern for charities, and by a significant margin.
- Over 75% of charities state that inflation is very concerning.
- 99% of charities are at least somewhat concerned about the subject.
- Rising costs, less generous donations and increasing demand from beneficiaries could present a major challenge for charities.
- The proportion of charities reporting increased demand for their services has risen significantly – from 45% in 2021 to 59% in 2022 – and still well above the 46% reported in 2020.
