  • Giving Is Great Booklet
    GIVING IS GREAT A handbook to help philanthropists make better decisions when supporting charities and social enterprises The The 1 When I first started taking a closer interest in supporting charities, I assumed that it would be pretty similar to finding good investments. By carrying out research I would soon be able to identify those doing the best job. How wrong I was! Whereas companies need to attract more customers in order to grow, charities just need to get better at raising money. There is often no link between the success of their work and the amount of money raised. However, this is beginning to change. The emerging discipline of Impact Measurement is slowly providing the tools and data to allow donors and charity managers to understand better what works best. Selecting good charities is one of the toughest tasks that I’ve encountered. But if that sounds rather negative, don’t be put off. Helping others is THE most rewarding activity available to us and I recommend it heartily. I hope that you find this guide helpful and that your giving provides you with as much pleasure as mine. Currently more than 75% of the voluntary income raised by charities in the UK accrues to just 2% of charities. That’s mainly because they can afford national marketing campaigns to create name awareness. I’m keen to see those thousands of smaller but more effective charities gain an increased share of the pot. John Spiers Chief Executive, The EQ Foundation 2 Contents 1.

I am asked at least 3-4 times a month why we left our original intent of using rescue dogs as service dogs by the wayside and took up breeding our own. When I founded 4 Paws I saw the use of rescue dogs as service dogs a win/win situation. When we were small and only needed to find less than a handful of dogs at a time it worked. The problem one faces when choosing a dog for service work is that the service dog must be of the highest quality possible. We need to make sure that the dog acts appropriately in public and has no behavioral issues. When searching a shelter for a dog we found that we would need to test 60 dogs to find one who might make it. Even then until this dog settled into life outside the shelter, we will not know if we can use them.
