The Charity Aid Commission (CAF) has issued a briefing paper outlining immediate and mid-term recommendations for the government and private funders to adopt to ensure that charities can continue to support communities during and after the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The recommendations include setting up a philanthropy pledge, making Gift Aid universal until the end of 2021, releasing the National Fund assets, repurposing dormant charitable trusts, encouraging funders to collaborate and incentivising foundations and charitable trusts to spend-down 10-15% of their endowed assets. The CAF also urges the Charity Commission to be more flexible when defining the mission of a charity and amending charitable objects.
