How are your peers raising money?

You may have noticed that 2007 Annual Survey included a substantial new section on Development and Membership. Now you can find out how it will help you! AZA partnered with Grenzebach Glier & Associates (GG&A), the premier fundraising firm to nonprofit organizations to implement the 2007 Annual Survey and add new value for members, including an industry-wide examination of fundraising trends, and an opportunity to purchase Custom Benchmark Reports.

GG&A's Trends in Zoo and Aquarium Philanthropy Summary Report describes the trends and patterns in zoo and aquarium philanthropy and provides invaluable insights to your fundraising. The Report — free to AZA members — is available in the Members Only section, along with the results of the 2007 Annual Survey (in Excel format). Go to the Resource Center: Zoo and Aquarium Statistics.

Custom Benchmark Reports are available!

Each AZA-accredited zoo or aquarium may also purchase a Custom Benchmark Report with comparative data for to up to twelve peer institutions on measures such as total support, campaign status, development staffing, membership retention rates, and more. With a Custom Benchmark Report you'll know how your institution compares to others – and with that information you can measure your performance and set goals for the future.
