UK Fundraising News, our free fortnightly e-mail newsletter, is now sent to 5,000 subscribers. It has taken just under two years to reach this figure. We’re confident this is the largest e-mail subscriber list of fundraisers, fundraising suppliers, and related staff in the UK. It is certainly the most up-to-date since we publish the newsletter fortnightly.

In the past six months we’ve had only 211 people unsubscribe (4%). The list has grown by about 360 new subscribers a month, and in the past 30 days we’ve welcomed 426 new subscribers.

The list could have been larger, but we don’t just ask people to give us their e-mail address. In return for our free service, subscribers are required to fill in a form giving details of their fundraising experience and interests. No doubt that puts off some would-be subscribers.

We’ve published a statistical snapshot of the subscribers to UK Fundraising.
