Changes in giving to Welsh charities
Which funders are giving more to charities in Wales, which are giving less, and which have started or stopped. We compare grants awarded in 2024 and 2025 with grants awarded in 2022 and 2023.
These figures use only grants funders publish to 360Giving, because those funders publish every grant, so the two periods compare like with like. Funders that do not publish there are not included. A funder that stops publishing to 360Giving will look as if it has stopped giving.
Giving more
Funders with grants in both periods and at least £100,000 in one of them, by how much more they gave.
