Research Services
For Donor Advised Fund clients and Philanthropy Fund clients
You may be deliberating over which charities to give to in your local area and beyond, or be feeling overwhelmed by the incredible breadth of ministries engaging with causes important to you. Perhaps you simply want to see what choices you have, but don’t have the time to look into them yourself.
At Stewardship, it’s our desire to see joyful, informed and impactful generosity and it’s our mission to facilitate this for our donors.
As a Philanthropy Services client, you can benefit from our bespoke research service, offering three levels of research and reporting on charities and church ministries.
Level one
You can expect a concise report consolidating the information already available across the public domain. The document will give you a spread of active charities and ministries, sorted by location or cause – depending on what you want to know. Level one research is Included within the Philanthropy Fund and Donor Advised Fund fee.
Level two
If you need a little more information, our team can delve further into the detail. We can speak to a range of different charities and ministries, engaging with them to build a clear picture of their set-up, emerging initiatives and current funding gaps. Level two research can be carried out at an additional fee of £200 to £500 per organisation.
Level three
We are proud to partner with Eido Research, providing a thorough, robust and Kingdom-focused level of impact evaluation. This is an option for most grants, although we recommend it for all grants over £250,000. Level three research offers a bespoke service, please contact our team for more information.
Stewardship took the time to get to know our grant making criteria and the types of causes we were most interested in supporting. As a result they were able to bring charities to our attention that we didn’t already know about and help with the due diligence needed before any grant decisions could be made.
Anonymous Donor
Stewardship provides a useful bridge between us and the charity, where we can choose the level of interaction we have with the charity. In some cases, the Research Services have been used to enable us get to know a charity discretely.
