CAF’s top 500 fundraising charities 1999–2000 Cathy Pharoah The millennium bonus for charities? The evidence from this 1999–2000 set of top charity fundraising tables shows that charities may well have received a remarkable millennium bonus. Both the voluntary income and total income of CAF’s top 500 fundraising charities showed impressive real-terms increases, as people marked the end of the century through many special fundraising events and campaigns such as Children’s Promise. If this increase is indeed due to a wave of public sentiment at the turn of the century, it is clear today that the millennium would not be alone in riding a tide of public- spiritedness. Recent events have shown that, in times of disaster or public grief, people turn again and again to philanthropy as a way of expressing their feelings.
