RESEARCH

LSP conducts applied research that bridges academia and practice. We publish white papers, sector briefings and practice-led studies that explore donor behaviour, fundraising effectiveness, ethical marketing and the future of philanthropy. Our research draws on data analysis, surveys, interviews and field experiments to produce insights organisations can act on.

We also translate the latest evidence into tools, frameworks and training so ideas move from paper into practice. Through partnerships with universities, charities and funders, we convene roundtables and learning networks, share open resources and spotlight what works, helping the sector raise standards, improve impact and earn greater public trust.

We translate evidence into everyday practice for the sector. Moving from assumptions to data, from reports on the shelf to tools in use and from one off studies to a learning loop that raises standards.
