Irish Charity Engagement Monitor
The Irish Charity Engagement Monitor (ICEM) is a new tracking study of attitudes, awareness and perceptions among adults in Ireland. ICEM enables charities to find out how they are perceived, gain insight into what the public think of volunteering, campaigning, and donating to charity, and provide a benchmark for charities to measure themselves against.
By pooling their research budgets, participant charities are able to get a more frequent and more detailed insight into the public's awareness of charities than most charity research budgets could afford.
