ImpactEd Group | “Be Fundable: Bridging the Gap Between Charities and Funders” Report

18 Dec 2025

What matters to grant makers and what do they look for? ImpactEd Group’s “Be Fundable: Bridging the Gap Between Charities and Funders” report gives some valuable insight to improve your chances of success in a highly competitive field.

The report highlights three key findings:

• The presentation of charity information
• The demonstration of strong leadership
• Engagement with funders

The research reinforces what many of us fundraisers know: whilst fundraisers play a crucial role, they cannot single-handedly make an organisation fundable.  

For a charity to maximise its chances of securing philanthropic support sustainably, there needs to be a collective commitment from everyone—trustees who understand their governance responsibilities, leaders who can articulate strategy and finances, frontline teams who effectively support beneficiaries, and behind-the-scenes staff who ensure policies and procedures are in place.

Only then do fundraisers really have what they need to maximise their potential.
