A new study aimed at pinpointing the innovation capability of the Australian not-for-profit Sector reveals that nimble, market-responsive charity organisations are best-placed to capture community interest and support.

The 2015 Innovation Index - The Australian Not-for-Profit Sector (1.79mb) (PDF), commissioned by Australia Post and digital giving provider, GiveEasy, was generated from a survey of more than 700 professionals working in the sector.

The peer-based survey revealed an overall Innovation Index of 66% for the sector, showing that there is substantial scope for improvement when it comes to innovation, while unpacking a number of factors that drive, and hinder, innovative practice.

Movember, Oxfam and Charity Water were identified as the top three 'most innovative' not-for-profit organisations in Australia according to the peer-based ranking in the survey.
