Charities Aid Foundation - Giving Thought

Rhodri Davies is Head of Policy at Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), and leads Giving Thought – CAF’s in-house think tank focussing on current and future issues affecting civil society. He also presents CAF’s Giving Thought podcast, which looks at these issues through a mixture of deep-dive explorations and interviews with civil society figures from around the world. He is the author of Public Good by Private Means: How philanthropy shapes Britain, which traces the history of philanthropy in Britain and what it tells us about its modern role. He has researched, written and presented on a wide range of topics – from charity taxation to the civil society implications of cutting-edge technologies such as AI and blockchain – and is much in demand as an adviser to governments, businesses, charities and philanthropists.
