The Mohn Westlake Foundation is proud to partner with New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) on an innovative programme which aims to enable the UK charity sector to optimise its use of data and digital technologies, to better tackle social inequalities and achieve even more for beneficiaries.

The programme has two goals for the UK charity sector; to provide support to harness open and accessible data and information, and to deliver tools to generate insight and analysis that has the power to transform service delivery, enabling those most in need to be better identified, understood and supported by charities, funders and policymakers.

Open, accessible data has the power to revolutionise how charities and funders respond to social need and maximise impact. Particularly when coupled with tools and support that enable charities to quickly get the information they need to better understand needs, inform service delivery and influence policy. That’s why New Philanthropy Capital’s vision is for charities to be more effectively supported through uniting these essential factors.

“[it’s] a fantastic resource for charities of all sizes. It's really great to see both the data and the analysis. It's vital that all of us make the best use of data in our decision making.”
