We are excited to launch a groundbreaking benchmarking research initiative aimed at addressing a critical gap in the nonprofit sector—accessible, standardised fundraising data. With the closure of Benefacts and limited sector-wide reporting, many organisations are left without a clear view of scale, market trends, and key performance benchmarks needed for effective planning and decision-making.
Why is This Research So Important?
Without comprehensive data, charities struggle to forecast, plan, and optimise fundraising strategies. This new research will fill that gap, providing invaluable insights to enhance your fundraising strategy, improve income generation, and help your organisation stay ahead of trends in the market.
We Need Your Participation!
To ensure this research yields meaningful and actionable results, we need your input. Our research parnter, NFP Reserach sent the survey link to CEO’s and Fundraising Leaders of our member organisations on Thursday 06 February. If you have received the survey, we encourage you to take a few minutes to participate and share your valuable insights. Please contact info@charitiesinstitute.ie if you have not recieved the link.
Your participation will directly contribute to establishing sector-wide standards, ensuring that all charities have access to the essential data they need for better planning and more informed decision-making.
Your Contribution Matters
We understand that capacity can be a challenge for many organisations, which is why this initiative is designed to be practical, scalable, and impactful over time. Your involvement in this research will help build a stronger, more data-driven nonprofit sector capable of navigating challenges and seizing new opportunities.
Look Out for the Survey Link!
If you are a CEO or Fundraising Leader and haven't completed the survey yet, please check your inbox for the email and survey link from our research partner, NFP Research. Your insights will help shape the future of the Irish charity sector and ensure all organisations have the tools and data needed to thrive.
Together, we can create a more informed, effective, and resilient charity sector. Take the survey today and make a real difference!
