The Chartered Institute of Fundraising (CIOF) has called for all political parties to support efforts to grow philanthropy in the UK.

In the first part of its Philanthropy 2035 research project, CIOF spoke to more than 30 representatives from different charities about the challenges they are facing in reaching and retaining major donors.

The most common suggestion from CIOF's interviews was that charities aiming to grow their programmes should shift from "transactional giving" towards "relationship-based fundraising".
