Individual giving – a study into donor motivation
A unique study of what motivates individuals to donate to artistic and cultural organisations.
Donations by individuals make up the largest single source private investment to the arts in the UK. We commissioned City University London to conduct the first ever piece of major research into small and medium-scale giving to the arts. The resulting reports reveals how you can maximise your organisation's appeal to donors.
