Perpetual Guardian, a philanthropic funds manager with more than 700 charities under management, has just put out its annual report on Engaged Philanthropy, which looks at the data on charitable giving over the past 12 months.

Kilian-Taylor tells The Detail that it reads like a tale of two stories.

"First, there is a story of increased giving, particularly through structured philanthropic managed charitable trusts; but alongside that we really wanted to acknowledge the difficult times, with a reduction in funding, charities closing, and the cost of living and cuts in government funding that sit concurrently alongside this report," she says.

She says Perpetual Guardian has seen "doublings of application pools, where we have $200,000 to give and $1.9 million worth of applications".
