CEO of New Philanthropy Capital Dan Corry joins CC Board

We are delighted to announce that Dan Corry, the CEO of New Philanthropy Capital (NPC), will be joining the CC Advisory Board.

NPC is a charity think tank and consultancy which occupies a unique position at the nexus between charities and funders, helping them achieve the greatest impact. This understanding of both sides of the funding equation is reflected in the variety of skills and knowledge of our people, and their backgrounds in charities and the public and private sector.

Dan became Chief Executive of NPC following a varied career in public policy and economics. He was Head of the Number 10 Policy Unit and Senior Adviser to the Prime Minister on the Economy from 2007 to 2010. He has been Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Treasury and has worked as a special adviser to the Secretary of State in the Education Department as well as at DTI and DCLG. Most recently, he was a Director in the Economics segment of FTI Consulting. In addition to working at senior levels of government, Dan ran the New Local Government Network think tank between 2002 and 2005, which was voted Think Tank of the Year in 2004, and was Senior Economist at the IPPR in the 1990s.

Dan is a commissioner for the Commission on the Voluntary Sector & Ageing, established by NPC in partnership with ILC-UK to put ageing on the agenda of the voluntary sector. He is also a member of the Early Action Taskforce, which brings together charity, business and government leaders to make the case for a shift in priorities away from coping with the consequences of social problems towards work that prevents them arising. He is a member of the Advisory Boards for Big Society Capital, Impetus – The Private Equity Foundation, and CentreForum. He is also a Visiting Fellow at Southampton University, a trustee of 19 Princelet Street, a member of the Research Committee of the ESRC and of the Greater Manchester Economic Advisory Panel.
