IVAR, home of the Open and Trusting community of 170+ funders, is running its biggest survey to understand what it’s really like to apply for, receive and manage grants today.
If you work or volunteer in a UK-based charity, community organisation or social enterprise that applies for or receives funding, please take 10 minutes to share your experience.
Every additional perspective strengthens understanding around the pressures charities are facing, and what could help ease them. Here’s how two people working in charities put it:
“The fundraising landscape feels treacherous at the moment.”
“In my 26 years working in the voluntary sector, I have never seen it so hard to attract funding.”
The deadline for feedback is 4 March 2026 and there is a chance to win £100 donation to your organisation.
