Market research for nonprofits and charities

Smart charities and nonprofits do their homework. Market research is foundational to understanding donor beliefs, behavior, and tracking public perception. From targeting hard-to-reach audiences to always-on tracking of your charity, draw powerful intelligence for powerful outcomes.

Market research for nonprofits and charities - Intro

Market research for understanding donors and campaigns

When it comes to fundraising, how you spend your budget counts. Key messages must land well with audiences to encourage donor support. But poor data means you double down on campaigns that just won’t cut through.

Let’s turn unknowns into actionable intelligence that backs up your claims, helps you understand the reality of public thinking and tests your campaigns with the right people.

Who is likely to donate? When do they donate? What’s the perception of your charity brand? How are people emotionally engaging with your cause?

Research-savvy charities and nonprofits rely on YouGov to help them solve complex data requirements. With YouGov’s intelligence, there’s no more guessing about what drives giving.
