Video Summary

The CASE Insights team, including Senior Data Strategist Emma Sonduck, Senior Director of Research Deborah Trumbull, and Senior Director of Schools Cricket Casper, introduced the Philanthropy in International and Independent Schools Survey. This new survey, launched as a pilot, aims to build global benchmarks on educational philanthropy using consistent global reporting standards. Participants can use the online CASE Insights platform to enter data, which includes school details, financial operations, advancement structure, funds raised, and staff/expenditure breakdowns. The survey captures key metrics like funds received, new funds committed, donor types, campaign status, and advancement office organization with contextual variations for regions like Australia. The platform supports multiple users per institution, has built-in validation checks, and allows year-over-year comparisons to inform strategic goal-setting and data-driven decision-making. Data sharing is transparent, with individual institution data accessible only to CASE members and aggregated anonymized data shared with partners. The survey deadline is January 31, 2025 (February 28 for Australia), with extensions available upon request. Participants are encouraged to reach out to insights@case.org for support and to ensure high-quality contributions that enable meaningful institutional benchmarking and advancement insights. The team anticipates sharing survey results next year to benefit international and independent schools worldwide.
