CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING

Our vision is excellent fundraising for a better world. We support fundraisers through leadership and representation; best practice and compliance; education and networking; and we champion and promote fundraising as a career choice. We are also a charity, and we support charities and public benefit organisations in connecting donors and supporters with the causes they care passionately about.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
