The National Council for Voluntary Organisation (NCVO), based in England, has published a series of reports regarding new trends in philanthropy. These include:
  • A Gift Relationship? Charitable giving in theory and practice
  • From Asking to Earning: Exploring the Journey of Trading
  • ICT Foresight - consultation and campaigning in the age of participatory media
  • ICT, social capital and voluntary action
  • The UK Voluntary Sector Almanac 2006
  • Voluntary Action - meeting the challenges of the 21st Century
  • Voluntary Sector Strategic Analysis 2006/07
All of these reports are available in PDF format.

I contributed content for the issue on "ICT, social capital and voluntary action." The publication looks at how new technologies impact on social connections and networks; my part focuses particularly on online communities and online volunteering (what a surprise).
