Fall in fundraising income continues in U.K., says Charity Market Monitor

The U.K.’s 500 largest fundraising charities suffered about a $111.6 million real-terms fall in fundraising income to about $9.7 billion in 2009/10, according to research published last week.

The 1.1 percent decline marks the second successive year that fundraising income has fallen in real terms, according to Charity Market Monitor 2011.

The report, produced by Cass Business School and Caritas Data, looked at figures from charities’ accounts covering the year up to March 2010, which varied according to when the organisations set their financial year.
