Firth, L., Rooney, K., Moran, R., Cairns, B., & Dyson, E. (2022). Get the basics right: Findings from the Funding Experience Survey. IVAR.
From the IVAR website:
“Through the Funding Experience Survey, more than 1,200 charities
shared what they feel are open and trusting grant-making practices – and
why they matter. In sharing their practical ideas, charities showed
huge empathy for the constraints and challenges that funders face. Our
findings include:
- 10 actions funders can take to make a meaningful difference
- The challenges charities face in the application process and their ideas on how these might be resolved
- What charities appreciate in a funding relationship and how they feel their funders can add best value
- What it feels like to be funded in an open and trusting way – and why it matters”
