Charities analysed

We’ve been continuing to extract useful information from our Factary Phi database. Here, in a brief 2 page report, is the latest data from a survey we carried out in Factary Phi on donations to charities

We have found some interesting patterns by comparing reported gifts from trusts with reported gifts from individuals. For example mental health charities are reporting substantially more gifts from trusts than from individual donors, while education and training organisations show the reverse picture.

We hope that this information helps organisations in the nonprofit sector to begin to establish benchmarks in their work with strategic donors (philanthropists, companies and trusts.)

Do contact us (research@factary.com, or 0117 916 6740) if you would like to know more, or to set up an online demonstration of Factary Phi.
