Collaborators

We simply couldn't achieve what we need to without our Primary Partners and Collaborators. The organisations showcased below know that their investment in the Benchmarking Project demonstrates their commitment to an informed and best-practice fundraising sector. We thank each and every one for their support.

Marlin Communications

As we're sure you know, Marlin Communications is Australia’s largest creative and digital agency that works solely with organisations dedicated to changing the world.

It is vital that partners share values, so we are over the moon to join forces with a bunch of people who share ours. To paraphrase Bertrand Russell, we are inspired by love and guided by knowledge, and we know that Marlin Communications are the same. They are a certified B-Corporation, Carbon Neutral, charity focused, proud of their people and what they can achieve, and are great sector citizens.

More Strategic

The Benchmarking Project is very proud to partner with More Strategic to provide you with the full narrative your organisation needs to succeed.

The More Profitability Benchmarking, in conjunction with The Benchmarking Project, offers essential insights for every fundraising organisation.

Slingshot Data

It all begins with your data.

Provide us with your data (and we can assist with this too) and we’ll begin a review and undertake transactional analysis. We’ll build a model and segment the data – whether it’s a standard build or a customized requirement, we have the tools. If there is something in particular you would like to know about your donors, we’ll work the data to deliver the answers you need.

The more you know and understand your donors, the greater your ability to personalise and engage with them. Let us drive your data and put the knowledge in your hands
