Philanthropic report on digital skills (2021)

The pandemic is the biggest cause of digital disruption in the sector this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has led the sector to adopt digital technologies to remain relevant, help more people and develop new ways of working, fundraising and offering services. Although there has been an acceleration in some areas of the digital development of charitable organisations, little progress has been made in others.

The Charity Digital Skills Report is the fifth year in which it is an annual barometer of digital skills, attitudes and support needs across the sector. The report analysed the progress of key building blocks in creating the right foundations for digital change, including understanding users’ needs, leadership, strategy and governance. 

The report also aims to help:

  • Understand the main trends in how the use of digital technologies by charities changed over the past year to compare your organisation. 
  • Find out how other charitable organisations are changing their ways of working and developing their digital roadmaps as we enter the next phase of the pandemic.
  • Monitor the progress made over the last five years and what this means for the sector.
  • It measures where philanthropic organisations have skills gaps, but also what they need from forms of support such as
    funding, learning and development.
