Delivering and reviewing your corporate giving
NPC can help you deliver your grant-making and support charities as effectively as possible. Measuring your impact and reviewing your giving strategy helps you make the most of your giving, learning from experience to make the best use of resources and communicate the impact of your work.
4. Develop efficient funding processes and support
Good funding processes and well-structured funding support can make all the difference for charities. We can advise you on best practice in funding, including how long you should fund a charity for and how much to give. We can help you develop effective processes to cover every stage of your funding, from applications through to monitoring the impact of your support.
Helping Execution to give effectively
NPC first met stockbroking firm Execution when it was planning a trading day for charity in 2002, with proceeds going to the Execution Charitable Trust. The Trust wanted to ensure its giving had maximum impact, and NPC suggested the best way to do so was to support several local charities. Read the full story >

5. Measure and communicate your impact
Measuring and understanding the impact of your giving can help a company achieve greater business and social benefits. It means you can build on what is going well and make improvements where needed. By communicating the difference you are making, you can also improve the profile of your business and engage employees and customers better.
We can help you to understand and communicate your impact by analysing and evaluating grants, interviewing key stakeholders to understand their views on your giving, and writing engaging content to promote your giving and communicate the difference you are making. We can also work with your grantees to help them to develop and implement measurement tools and reporting frameworks.
Measuring the impact of J.P. Morgan’s philanthropy
J.P. Morgan was keen to know more about the impact of its giving in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, and commissioned NPC to analyse its 2008–2009 grants programme. We reviewed the impact of all 35 grants completed in this time, and wrote detailed case studies of six grantees. Read the full story >

6. Review your giving strategy
Regular reviews of your giving strategy can help you to achieve even more, ensuring that you are meeting your objectives and learning lessons along the way.
NPC can review your giving by analysing your strategy, focus areas and the satisfaction of key stakeholders. This could be a review of your entire giving strategy, or it can focus on particular areas, such as assessing employee satisfaction with the company’s giving.
Following a review, NPC will make recommendations for how the giving strategy could be improved to better meet your objectives.
Reviewing Nomura’s giving strategy
In 2009, the global investment bank Nomura set up a charitable trust to support disadvantaged young people in London and the Middle East. NPC helped advise the trustees about the Trust’s focus, strategy and processes, and after its first year of grant-making, was asked us to conduct a review of its activities. Read the full story >
