The landscape for non-profit organisations, academic institutions, advocacy groups, and charitable enterprises in the US has recently seen dramatic changes. What was once considered a relatively stable and supportive environment for civil society has become increasingly turbulent. The current administration has vocally targeted the credibility and function of certain types of organisations, exacerbated by funding cuts and looming regulatory changes, all of which has helped to create a climate of uncertainty and risk.

This upheaval has obliged non-profits to consider alternative jurisdictions which offer a more stable and secure operating platform both from a funding and programmatic perspective. For many, the UK stands out as a compelling and strategically prudent alternative. Offering regulatory clarity, political stability, a deep talent pool and an internationally focused charity sector, the UK has a lot to offer US charities aiming to re-locate some or all of their operations.
