The Institute has been a partner with the Centre for Interfirm Comparison since 1995 by initiating a fundratios benchmarking project which has involved over 80 charities, both large and small.
It aims to provide a comparison of performance levels and methods giving an overview of fundraising performance. The project has devised a set of benchmarks to assess and compare all major aspects of fundraising performance.
After receiving advice and guidance, participating charities provide data in a carefully defined framework, which is then verified and analysed.
Each charity receives a meaningful report containing written analysis, charts, performance profiles and commentary on the results, which enables them to compare fundraising performance against other charities in a thorough and structured manner.
The fundraising areas concentrated upon in the project include central appeals, local fundraising, corporate and trust fundraising, direct marketing, legacies and trading.
This project also has an important role in generating accurate information in order to promote a better understanding of fundraising.
