The passion and commitment of our members to learn, share, and deliver for their causes raises billions of pounds a year through skilled and ethical fundraising. Our ambition for this strategy is to ensure that our members can navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead with success. We know that when fundraisers achieve, everyone benefits from the supporter who is inspired and fulfilled through the act of giving a donation, through to the person who is able to access the support a charity can offer because of the income a fundraiser has brought in.
The strategy was informed through conversations, engagement, and discussion with hundreds of Chartered Institute members.
In the autumn/winter of 2021 we held a series of roundtables, attended by hundreds of members, where we asked three questions: what’s working well, what isn’t working well, and what do you want from the Chartered Institute in the future.
Alongside the feedback gained through these roundtables, we undertook an individual member survey in the spring of 2022, where members shared their views on a range of topics and areas related to their membership and priorities.
In addition to the views and thoughts of members, we also undertook internal research and external benchmarking to inform our discussions and approach.
The result of these were ideas and thoughts that became the heart of the new strategy, which was discussed and shaped through further discussion with our full trustee board, as well as discussion with staff and committee members/Chairs.
