Bespoke Research About Charities

Four poeple at a work desk looking at a screen

The Charity Report has a talented and uniquely qualified pool of researchers, writers and editors that enables us to offer bespoke research about charities, NGOs, nonprofit organizations and government agencies that address very specific needs. We create monthly intelligence reports for subscribers, but also conduct bespoke research dealing with specific issues of interest to the charity sector. We offer three levels of bespoke research projects:

  • Top-level research about charities involve highly individualized intelligence that could take up to a year to complete, and requires top investigative talent gathering information about sector activities that has never before been assessed.
  • Mid-range research about charities involve sector sub-set intelligence—health, social services, environmental, international development, humanitarian aid, for example. For corporations, charitable foundations, media or specific ministries of government, it is useful to understand the nature of the work being done in these sub-sectors, the gaps, strengths, and potential areas for investment or de-implementation. This level of project would take three to six months to complete.
  • Basic research about charities involve compilation and analysis derived from publicly available data, and analyzing the information in a way that will assist charities or other sector stakeholders in the development of public policy from a empirically based foundation. These projects will take less than three months to complete.
