Fundraisers and charity leaders have asked for better opportunities to explore and discuss the data and insights behind the fundraising programs that sustain our causes. Not just charts and numbers but the what, how and why of the trends.

The Benchmarking Project is not just an annual report, it’s a collaboration.

Members have the opportunity to participate in forums where fundraisers are facilitated by industry experts in all areas of fundraising to share experiences and best practice and explore fundraisings challenges all informed by analysis and insights so we can have practical and action focused debate and discussion.

The 2023 community was built up of more than 53 data-supplying charities, 35 non-data-supplying charities and over 20 Partners and Collaborators. This is over 100 organisations and 500 people who share their experiences and information.

Joining The Benchmarking Project as an Accelerator member can be a transformative step for a charity with a modest Individual Giving program. Your organisation will receive benefits that can significantly enhance your effectiveness, sustainability, and impact.

By participating, you gain access to a wealth of data and insights. This is invaluable for assessing performance and understanding how you compare to your peers. This information can help identify areas where improvement is needed, and help you allocate resources more efficiently.

Additionally, becoming an Accelerator member grants access to a network of experienced professionals. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing opportunities allows you to tap into the expertise and strategies of larger, more established charities. This can lead to improved fundraising strategies, donor engagement, and overall organisational growth.

For a charity with fewer than 50,000 Individual Giving transactions, joining The Benchmarking Project as an Accelerator member is a strategic move. It provides access to valuable data, a supportive network, tailored resources, and enhanced credibility.
