With other actors increasingly displacing charities in giving to good causes, asking for support, and providing help for people in needed, a four-phase project has launched to help charities ‘reintermediate’ into the relationships and processes from which they are being displaced.
Phase one of the project from Rogare - The Fundraising Think Tank and Kingston University Business School has just been completed with the launch of a white paper, Death by a thousand cuts: How other actors are displacing charities from giving, asking for support, and providing help.
The paper examines the threat of disintermediation to charities, and expands the typology of disintermediation (first published in the now Journal of Philanthropy in 2023) with more examples of how other actors, especially companies, are assuming ‘doing good’ roles.

There will also be a webinar of the typology, hosted by Chartered Institute of Fundraising (which is supporting the project in a later phase) on 30 September (4-4.45pm UK time – GMT/UTC +1). More details to come.
