UK Fundraising’s fortnightly e-mail newsletter now has over 8,000 subscribers, double
the number of members of the Institute of Fundraising.
The e-mail newsletter has
been published every second Tuesday since February 2000. It lists additions to the
UK Fundraising site, including news, jobs, books and discussions, and is the ideal
way to keep up to date with this large site which is updated many times throughout
the day.

Reaching the 8,000 subscriber mark further extends UK Fundraising News’ reputation
as the largest and most current e-mail distribution list for fundraisers and related
staff in the UK. Subscribers are live and current: if any issues are bounced back,
we delete the subscription.

 

 

The newsletter’s actual audience is of course going to be even larger, given the
ease with which e-mail newsletters can be forwarded.

 

 

How does the newsletter compare with other e-mail distribution lists? Here are a
few comparison lists and forums for fundraisers, together with their subscriber 
numbers as of today. Some focus on fundraising issues, others like Charity Times
cover the whole charity sector:

 

 

 * charitywebforum: 341
 * corporate_fundraising: 253
 * prospect-research-uk: 191
 * Statutory_fundraising: 72
 * trust_fundraising: 537
 * Philanthropy UK (bi-monthly newsletter): 500+
 * Volresource discussion forum: 79
 * Charity Times news alert: almost 7,000

 

 

Not only does the list far exceed any other e-mail distribution list for fundraisers
in the UK, it also includes far more than just the e-mail address that most other
services gather. Most subscribers to UK Fundraising News share details with us of
their job title, length of fundraising experience, area of fundraising activity,
and budgetary responsibility. We plan on publishing an updated analysis of all these
figures later this summer. And please don’t ask if we rent this list out: we don’t
and won’t. The only way advertisers can reach this list is through placing adverts
in the newsletter.

 

 

If you’re not one of our 8,000 subscribers, then sign up today at no charge to receive
UK Fundraising News.
