IFC Fundraisers Poll

Bernard Ross of the Management Centre pulled together this quick survey of fundraisers whilst he was at the IFC.

Bottom line:

• Almost 40% of respondents believe that the best response is to fight for
  market share now- expansion to secure market share is the only option.
• Almost as many favoured another strong proactive action though the specific
  responses varied- from downsizing to using reserves to weather the storm
• European and North American fundraisers are more optimistic than their
  African or Asian counterparts
• Globally respondents believe that the three areas most likely to lose out are
  arts and culture, international development and animal welfare.
• Respondents also agreed that children’s’ causes, emergency relief, medical
  and faith-based causes would be least affected.
• North America disagrees most strongly on the effect of the funding crisis on
  Disability, Education, the Environment, and Faith based causes.
• Europeans are more concerned than others about the impact on Disability,
  Human Rights, and Elders.
