This book has illustrated how the logic of charity plays out, in terms of the distribution of resources across causes and communities, and the processes behind philanthropic decision-making. Whilst ‘nudge’ policies and place-based initiatives might eventually irrigate some so-called charity deserts, shifting the philanthropic dials will not be straightforward, either in terms of raising overall levels of giving, or creating significant shifts in the distribution of donations between causes or geographical areas. We note grounds for optimism regarding the continued vitality of charity despite adverse economic circumstances, but conclude that charities still have to work to command the confidence of the public, and to contend with the lack of political understanding of, and appreciation for, the diverse roles they play in building a pluralistic civil society.
