The Coutts Million Pound Donors Report 9
7. The recipients of million pound donations
161 organisations were recipients of million pound donations, including 140 operating charities and 21 charitable
foundations; the vast majority received only one donation wor th 1 million or more. Organisations that received multiple
donations of this size are almost all universities.
6. Are million pound donations banked or spent?
Donors giving at this level are continuing the trend away from banking money in charitable trusts and foundations in favour
of spending by giving it directly to operational charities. In 2006/07 the largest part o f the total value of million pound
donations (56%) was banked in tax-efficient charitable trusts and foundations for distribution at a later date. This dropped
to less than half (42%) in 2007/08 and has dropped further to represent just over a third (36%) of the value of million
pound donations in the most recent year.Number of million No of organisations receiving this many MPDs in each yearpound gifts received

9. The distribution of million pound donations made by individuals
As a result of feedback from the first edition of the Million Pound Donors Report, we are aware there is a particular
interest in the philanthropic activities of individuals. Therefore, we have extracted all the data on the 100 donations made by
individuals either by direct donations or through personal foundations and re-analysed the distribution of these donations.
Whilst half of the total value of all donations made by individuals are banked in foundations for distribution over time,
Higher Education is by far the most popular destination for million pound donations that are spent directly on charitable
activity. Last year, Arts and Culture was the dominant destination for individual donors, but drops into second place in2008/09, though still receives almost a quarter of the value of all donations of this size, and no other charitable subsector
receives more than 10%.
Commenting on this finding, Michael Attenborough, Artistic Director of the Almeida Theatre, says:
All subsidised theatres are registered charities and are hugely dependent on private philanthropy to enable them to provide top
quality cultural events at affordable prices to the widest possible audience. The Arts nourish that which is invisible - namely our inner
lives, our emotional, spiritual and moral selves. In many ways they influence and define the very terms and standards of our
humanity, of our civilisation.
