Do donors rely on unreliable evidence?
"Ask an important question and answer it reliably" is a fundamental tenet of clinical research. But we suspect that much of the information about charities' performance isn't reliable, based on recent studies. We found a charity citing as impact a change which could have been caused by something totally unrelated, and the sole study of charities' research found that much of it is weak. The UK's National Audit Office recently looked at government programmes, and found that claims of strong impact are normally based on weak evaluations. We discussed all this here.
If you're a foundation or major donor and interested in understanding & improving the quality of the research that you commission and use, please get in touch.

Is Sport Relief any good?
Yes. Funds raised by Sport Relief (UK: March 21-23rd) are distributed by Comic Relief which is pretty sensible, as discussed here.
