Adrian Sargeant
Adrian Sargeant is the Robert F. Hartsook Professor of Fundraising at Indiana University, holding what is presently the world’s only endowed chair in that discipline. He is also professor of nonprofit marketing and fundraising at Bristol Business School and an adjunct professor of fundraising at the Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies at the Queensland University of Technology.
In 2004 Professor Sargeant launched the public information website www.charityfacts.org, which was intended to boost public trust and confidence in the sector. The site is underpinned by an ongoing benchmarking study tracking the fundraising performance of a cross section of charities.
More recently Sargeant developed the UK’s new National Occupational Standard for Fundraising and in 2008 he became an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Fundraising.
He is also managing editor of the International Journal of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Marketing.
He is consistently voted one of the top ten most influential people in fundraising by readers of Fundraising.

Trust is a key component of donors’ giving decisions and yet while the sector is awash with confidence-building initiatives, trust remains in the shadows. Professor Adrian Sargeant explains how fundraisers can build trust, and why they need to start doing it properly.
Inconsistent giving survey results have plagued the fundraising industry, but a new study into why people report their habits incorrectly finds that there could be great opportunities for fundraisers who identify people who exaggerate their giving.
A long-term study into giving behaviour in the US provides vital information that could be useful for UK fundraisers, says Adrian Sargeant.
Fundraisers need to get involved if it's to provide the research they need and want, say Adrian Sargeant and Stephen Pidgeon.
