INSTITUTE OF FUNDRAISING 

Our vision is "Excellent fundraising for a better world". We work towards that by improving the environment for fundraisers through policy and support. We increase understanding by being a knowledge centre for fundraisers and the general public and through setting fundraising standards. We enable fundraisers to be the best they can be by providing resources, skills development and qualifications.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • This charity appears to be dormant
Established: 24 years
