History
NPC started as a charitable organisation in 2002, and was founded by Peter Wheeler and Gavin Davies, two ex-Goldman Sachs employees, as an attempt to fill a gap in the philanthropic market. It currently has a staff of approximately forty. NPC is one of a small number of organisations offering advice on philanthropy, including the Institute for Philanthropy and Geneva Global.
In August 2009, NPC committed to preserving the website and brand of a mass-market charity with similar aims, which was being wound up, Intelligent Giving.
