The Fundraiser Survey 2026 – Chartered Institute of FundraisingThe Fundraiser Survey is for individual fundraisers at all career stages. It focuses on personal experiences and career journeys, including:• How people enter fundraising and progress• Pay, promotion and transparency• Workplace culture, inclusion and wellbeing• Experiences of bias, support or exclusion• How background (including socio economic background) has affected access and opportunity• Whether fundraisers feel valued, supported and able to stay in the professionThis survey will remain open until Wednesday 2nd September.We need more fundraisers from Northern Ireland to take part in our Talent and Inclusion surveys.The Chartered Institute of Fundraising wants to build the clearest picture yet of the UK’s fundraising workforce. But that picture will be incomplete unless it properly captures the experiences of fundraisers and fundraising leaders working across Northern Ireland.Wherever you work, whatever the size of your organisation and whatever stage you have reached in your career, your experience matters.We want to understand how people enter and progress through fundraising, what helps them stay and succeed, and their experiences of workplace culture, inclusion and wellbeing. We also want to hear from leaders about recruitment, retention, team development, organisational investment and relationships with CEOs and Boards.There are two ways to take part: If you lead a fundraising team, complete our Fundraising Leader Survey; and if you work in fundraising at any level, complete our Fundraiser Survey. Find your survey here: bit.ly/4vDNsk9Everyone who completes either survey can enter a prize draw to win one of three £250 donations for a charity they work for or support.Please complete the relevant survey and share it with colleagues and networks throughout Northern Ireland. The stronger the response, the better able we will be to ensure that future decisions about the fundraising profession reflect Northern Ireland’s particular context and needs.Northern Ireland cannot be a footnote in UK-wide workforce research. Please help us make sure it is properly represented.#FundraisingNI #NorthernIrelandCharities #Fundraising #TalentAndInclusion #CharitySector

The Fat Beehive FoundationThe Foundation provides small grants of up to £2,500 to help charities to improve their online digital presence. Small, registered charities can apply for grants towards hard-to-fund digital expenditure that other funders will often not cover. Funding will help organisations to build websites and apps, digitise services, and purchase digital products. The fund excludes IT hardware, staffing and core costs, which are not supported. The trustees are particularly keen to support traditionally hard-to-fund organisations, including those working with prisoners, refugees, or disadvantaged youth. Grants are awarded twice a year. The deadlines for applications are 30 September and 30 March each year.www.fatbeehivefoundation.org.uk/what-we-fund/
