Individual Giving Benchmarking 2024/25
Your data tells the story
2-Year membership for data supplying charities with more than 50,000 Individual Giving transactions
Joining The Benchmarking project as a two-year member can be a transformative decision for your charity.
Benchmarking, the process of comparing one’s performance metrics to those of similar organisations, offers a multitude of benefits that can significantly enhance your charity’s impact.
The Benchmarking Project provides a unique opportunity for a charity to gain valuable insights into its own data and operations. By measuring its performance against peer organisations, your team can identify areas where it excels and areas where it lags behind. This data-driven approach can lead to more informed decision-making, allowing the charity to allocate resources more efficiently and effectively.
Benchmarking fosters a culture of continuous improvement within the organisation. Over a two-year period, charities can track their progress, set goals, and implement changes based on the insights gathered from the benchmarking data. This iterative process can lead to measurable improvements in program outcomes, fundraising effectiveness, and overall efficiency.
Additionally, being a part of a benchmarking project provides opportunities for networking and collaboration. Charities can learn from their peers, share best practices, and even explore potential partnerships. This collaborative environment can lead to innovative solutions to common challenges and can strengthen the sector as a whole.
It is a strategic investment in your future. The insights gained, culture of improvement fostered, and opportunities for collaboration can all contribute to a more effective and sustainable organisation, ultimately enabling your team to make a greater difference in the communities you serves.
Benefits
Individual Giving Benchmarking 2024/25 (2 Years) members receive:
Essentials Reports – Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand
The Essentials Report is the summary of this process of consultation, analysis, and insights development. It will give you the trustworthy evidence you need to understand the key fundraising trends and insights to support you in making the best possible fundraising decisions.
You will also find information to support you in working with your colleagues in senior management and Board, to explain how investment in fundraising works and to underpin strategic decision making.
This report is a starting point for new conversations within our community and within your own team. Whether you work in a not-for-profit, supplier, or consultancy, you will find this report to be (forgive us), Essential.
PowerBI Reports
Boards and fundraising leaders often do not have access to the right information they need to govern their fundraising programs, and fundraising managers and teams often do not have access to the metrics, benchmarks and insights they need to improve their management and forecasting of fundraising activities.
The interactive individualised PowerBI report gives you all the data at your fingertips.
From the data we get narrative, and from discussions we get clarity. The outcomes of The Benchmarking Project are aimed at the three tiers of a charity team; board, management, and day-to-day practitioners. The stories told in our forums will inspire and instruct all levels to make real change.
Tickets to Launch Forum
The flagship Forum is the official start of the benchmarking year. Alongside special guests, Fi McPhee and Andy Tidy walk you and your team through the key trends to inspire and inform your fundraising.
This day-long online Forum brings up to 500 fundraisers together in one space to listen to and discuss vital learnings from the year to drive the year ahead.
Tickets to Specialist Forums
The topics for our Specialist Forums are decided by our Advisory Panel and are hosted by our key stakeholders. These shortform online sessions have covered, P2P, Events, Community Fundraising as well as Digital, Major Gifts and Gifts in Wills.
