This was later renamed the Charities Aid Fund and assisted with distribution of large sums of money for charitable purposes. In 1974 NCSS, then the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) constituted the Charities Aid Foundation as a registered charity and appointed its first board of independent trustees. CAF currently handles over £1 billion a year for donors and charities, employes more than 300 staff in Kent and London and across the world. It provides services to over 350,000 private individuals and many of Britain's largest companies. It passes donations, amounting to £130 million in 1998/9, to charities large and small and assists them in many other ways. It actively encourages debate about non-profit activity, through its research, conferences and seminars, and advocacy for an improved environment for charitable activity. |
