The Institute of Fundraising and New Philanthropy Capital are conducting research
on behalf of the Volunteering and Charitable Giving Unit (VCGU) at the Home Office
to understand the opportunities and barriers to charities and other organisations
investing in new fundraising techniques or campaigns.
The two organisations are 
inviting members, clients and fundraisers in England to share their thoughts and
experience in an online survey. The results of this survey will be made available
to the Home Office on a grouped and anonymous basis only.

The research should provide useful input both from fundraisers and, given that charity
New Philanthropy Capital advises donors and funders on how to give more effectively,
from donors and funders.

The survey has 36 short questions and “will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete”, 
according to the Institute.

Aswell as constraints on fundraising, the survey covers loans, insurance, and different
types of fundraising.

The deadline for responses is 20 January 2006. Please note this survey is only designed
to cover England so responses are not being sought from those in other parts of 
the UK.

The survey should help shape VCGU’s idea for a fund to help reduce the risks charities
face when they try innovative ways of fundraising.
