项目摘要

There are significant public concerns about the impact of the economic consequences of COVID-19 for UK voluntary organisations. The lockdown has caused the cessation of income generation activities involving face-to-face contacts; it will be followed by longer-term impacts depending on the scale and duration of the post-crisis recession. The impact will be highly differentiated, between organisations of different missions and size, and between communities. Central and national government, funders, voluntary organisation infrastructure bodies, and organisations themselves require analysis of these impacts if they are to make informed decisions.The immediate needs are for understandings of: 1. exactly what sorts of funding streams are at risk, and how the reduction or cessation of that funding has differentiated impacts2. the extent to which the economic impacts of COVID-19 will differ in magnitude and character from previous shocks to voluntary sector income (there is a baseline degree of fluctuation in organisations incomes and expenditures, but we anticipate the crisis will affect far more organisations);3. ongoing differential impacts depending on the progress of moving out from lockdown.Our work will contribute to an improved evidence base, providing actionable information on the exposure to risk of charities, drawing on a growing volume of administrative and transactional data. This will provide more granular, policy-relevant data on the impacts of economic change on charitable organisations. In turn this will provide a firmer evidential basis for interventions such as targeted financial support for strategically-significant charities.

公众对 COVID-19 对英国志愿组织的经济后果的影响表示严重担忧。封锁导致涉及面对面接触的创收活动停止；随后将产生长期影响，具体取决于危机后衰退的规模和持续时间。不同使命和规模的组织之间以及社区之间的影响将存在很大差异。中央和国家政府、资助者、志愿组织基础设施机构和组织本身如果要做出明智的决策，就需要对这些影响进行分析。当务之急是了解： 1. 到底哪些类型的资金流面临风险，以及如何风险减少或停止该资助会产生不同的影响2。 COVID-19 的经济影响在程度和性质上与之前对志愿部门收入的冲击有何不同（组织的收入和支出存在基线程度的波动，但我们预计这场危机将影响更多的组织）； 3.持续的不同影响取决于解除封锁的进度。我们的工作将有助于改善证据基础，利用越来越多的管理和交易数据，提供有关慈善机构风险敞口的可操作信息。这将提供有关经济变化对慈善组织影响的更精细的、与政策相关的数据。反过来，这将为干预措施提供更坚实的证据基础，例如为具有战略意义的慈善机构提供有针对性的财政支持。
