Income from major donor fundraising has soared by as much as 185.7% over the past
year and 300% over 3 years, according to new Fundratios research released by the
Institute of Fundraising (‘Institute’) today.
Co-ordinated by the Centre for InterFirm
Comparison (CIFC) on behalf of the Institute, Fundratios – the annual charity fundraising
benchmarking project – analyses the fundraising income and expenditure of 37 charities
with a combined voluntary income of £1.27 billion. Headline results show that voluntary
income has risen by 15.5% over the past year and 45% over the past 3 years, with
income from major donor fundraising up by 185.7% and 300% over the same respective
time periods. For every £1 invested in fundraising, charities make an average of
£4.86 in voluntary income.
