Giving Attitude | Private Sector Support Survey

Giving Attitude, a biennial survey of private sector support for arts and culture is designed to inform policy and aide in advocacy for investment in the arts. Reporting both quantitative data and a reflection of sentiment towards fundraising in the sector, each edition builds on the previous and with subsequent surveys, will enable trends to be monitored, including the impact of external factors on private sector support.

Giving Attitude is now also online, as an interactive dashboard that houses our surveys, allowing users to dive deeper into the data. Giving Attitude Online includes ‘The Data’ page where users can compare surveys and analyse trends — by filtering data sets and exporting or sharing data to use and reference elsewhere.
