Dan Corry is to step down as chief executive of New Philanthropy Capital after 13 years leading the charity sector think tank.

He is set to leave at the end of October after the organisation’s annual conference.

“After almost 13 fine years leading NPC, it is time for me to leave and pass on the baton,” he said.

“It’s been an exciting time with so many great achievements working with some fabulous staff as well as steering NPC through periods of austerity, Covid and the cost of living crunch.

“I am extremely pleased that NPC is firmly on the map undertaking great work to increase the impact of the non-profit sector as a consultancy and a think tank, and increasingly moving into other areas like impact investing and corporate social impact.”

He added: “My departure will, I hope and anticipate, provide an exciting opportunity for a new leader to take forward NPC’s mission and strategy, as the think tank and consultancy for the social sector, helping charities, foundations, philanthropists, impact investors, social enterprises, businesses, and the public sector to maximise social impact in the lives of the people they serve.”

Prior to joining NPC he was a Downing Street adviser during the Labour government, including two years as a senior adviser on the economy, and heading the policy unit for a year.
