Campaigning and Activism: What Funders Think

“The survey found that most funders were open to supporting campaigners/activists. 71% said they currently give some level of support to these groups and most valued campaigning/activism as a tool for change: on a scale of 0-5, the average was 4.4/5: ‘very valuable’. The average level of giving was considerably lower; again on a scale of 0-5, the average level of giving 2.57; ‘some of my giving’… There are solutions to many of the problems identified… We believe that there are many encouraging findings from this research in terms of the potential to increase support for campaigners and activists.”
