Benchmarking

Benchmarking is a continuous review of the use of information technology amongst our members. It's designed to help you understand how your organisation compares with other charities - enabling you to reach out to others who use similar services to you - and to encourage the use of good practice within our sector.

Reasons to participate

  • Access to the Charity IT Leaders benchmark is included in your membership fee
  • The benchmark is flexible — data can be submitted on a continuous basis allowing you to complete the modules in your own time
  • Once a module is completed the bulk of your work is done — you need only review and update in the future
  • The more members to participate, the more benefits for your own organisation and for the charity sector as a whole
  • You can access a store of current data offering unique insights into your own and other organisations
