We’re pleased to announce the launch of The Influence 100 Financial Benchmarking Report (2025/26)
This free resource will be of interest to professionals at all levels and career stages interested in sector wide trends linked to cost, income, expenditure, governance and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).
The Influence 100 Financial Benchmarking Report is one of the network’s most popular benchmarking resources for Senior Membership and Association Professionals conducting senior leadership and C-Suite roles.
This year the Influence 100 List has seen an increase in overall membership figures and this is to be celebrated. However, at the same time our costs have gone up and the business environment is now more challenging than ever before. We need to take action now in response to this reality.
The membership and association sector needs to develop their respective memberships further in order to bolster medium to long term sustainability. The content in this report cements this reality. For many organisations, annual membership fees will need to go up, value will need to be demonstrated and engagement will need to be optimised.
Why read this report? The Influence 100 List (and this financial benchmarking report) is an invaluable tool that will enable you to compare and contrast size, scale, reach, governance, financial and sustainability related facts/figures.
If you believe an organisation is not listed or the figures contained in the list are inaccurate, please email [email protected].
Core Sections of the Guide include Income Analysis, Expenditure Analysis, Reserves, Governance (including EDI) and Conclusions/Resource Signposting.
Thanks to Official Benchmarking Report Partner, Price Bailey, for authoring this valuable resource.
