Research

What causes receive the most support? How do other organisations structure their fundraising? How do other organisations cope with the changing fundraising environment? These are just some of the questions that fundraisers may ponder when developing strategies or evaluating their work.

Good fundraising inevitably depends upon knowledge of the subject area and existing fundraising research can go at least some way to answering some of these questions.
