The Foundation for Fraternal Excellence has been conducting an annual industry survey of its members since the early 1990s. FFE prioritizes gathering and sharing information about how fraternal foundations are performing in the areas of fundraising and management. Survey results are provided to participating groups for their interpretation, evaluation and benchmarking. The survey assessment period opens approximately October 1 and closes mid-December.

Conducted annually

This project is truly beneficial to fraternal foundations. The insights provided directly reflect the fraternal fundraising industry. This annually conducted survey has had more than 60% participation from FFE member organizations over the last five years. The final results are shared only with those groups who participate in the survey with 100% completion.

Our next Industry Survey will open in November 2023.

Conducted every other year

FFE has provided this supplemental survey for nearly a decade in an attempt to provide foundation executives with critical benchmarking data regarding compensation and benefit information. The survey is conducted every other year and confidentiality is a priority due to the sensitive nature of the information. All responses are recorded as anonymous when presented in the report.

Our next Compensation and Benefits Survey will open in the fall of 2024.
