IDPE and Gifted launch the fifth UK wide schools fundraising and engagement survey

Having worked with IDPE for a number of years we’re really excited to be partnering with the organisation for its next benchmarking survey of fundraising and engagement programmes in UK schools.

The Schools' Fundraising and Engagement Benchmarking Report is a key resource for development offices and senior management teams enabling schools to compare and evaluate their existing fundraising and engagement programme identify strengths and areas for development and make informed decisions on how to enhance their performance.

Championing the work of development teams
Schools who participate in the survey will be supporting the development sector as a whole in understanding the challenges and opportunities following the pandemic. They will also be helping to demonstrate the continuing need for investment in fundraising and engagement to provide the best educational experiences for our young people.

Louise Bennett IDPE’s CEO said 'We're delighted to be working with Gifted on our fifth fundraising and engagement survey. The benchmarking report enables IDPE to continue to champion the essential work of development teams through sharing best practice demonstrating the impact of fundraising and engagement success and strengthening confidence in schools' development.’

Chris Goldie Gifted’s Director leading the partnership added 'We know from the many schools who we advise how greatly previous benchmarking reports are valued and used. We are really looking forward to working with IDPE and its broad range of members to deliver a 2022 report that is informative illuminating and helpful to all irrespective of their sector and experience.’
