Richard Marsh

Richard Marsh is a consultant whose first foray into the charitable sector began with the Church. He spent several years with the Church of England and at one point headed the World Faith Development Dialogue.

He moved into more generic voluntary sector affairs in 2007 when he became the first director of the Impact Coalition, an initiative designed to improve public trust in the sector by promoting transparency among charities.

In July 2009 Marsh joined Intelligent Giving as interim director with a brief to try to develop a sustainable funding model for the organisation or find a partner which would take it on.  Two months later it was announced that IG would be subsumed by New Philanthropy Capital, and Marsh returned to freelance consultancy.

Having obtained his first degree in theology and later a PhD in English literature, Marsh writes books on world religion. He is the (contributed) author of Millennium Challenges for Development & Faith Based Institutions.
