Innovations in Fundraising Wiki
Welcome. The IiF wiki collects and presents evidence on the most successful approaches to motivating effective and impactful charitable giving, and promotes innovative research and its application. The wiki is a continuous work in progress and a living resource. We consider recent and replicated academic work, a clear explanation of relevant theories and definitions, description of real-world experiences in innovative fundraising. We are also organizing data and statistics from empirical research that can be interactively explored and used as a base for meta-analyses and future work. This is aimed both as a knowledge base for academic researchers and a collection of tools for practitioners and advocates. This is a collaborative effort: all are encouraged to comment and contribute!
The project was founded and is currently maintained by Dr. David Reinstein, Distinguished Researcher at Rethink Priorities. (Foundational funding came from an ESRC Impact Grant based at the University of Exeter). For updates on progress on this and related projects, you can follow @givingtools on Twitter.
