CFDG Surveys
CFDG runs ad-hoc surveys among the membership to assess trends and opinions in the sector and works with the media to get issues heard throughout the sector.
We also run the Finance CountTM benchmarking survey with Agenda Consulting.
We always encourage our members to have their say in the sector.
Current Surveys
July 2010 - The CFDG, IoF and PwC Managing in a Downturn Survey 2010
This is our fourth survey on managing in a downturn, in collaboration with the Institute of Fundraising (IoF) and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC). The research will follow previous reports in looking at the expected impact of the recession on charities and tracking the changing nature of attitudes to the downturn. In addition, this latest survey will also focus on the impact of the recent Government spending cuts to better understand the effect they are having on the sector. The survey will be open until Friday 27th August.
