What We Do
Fundraising Strategy
Strategy is at the heart of success. A fundraising strategy is an integral part of a charity's strategic planning process and articulates the organisation's financial ambition. For most this will include broad ambitions over three to five years, with concrete plans for the next 12 months. |
Prospect research across UK, Europe and the US
Grant making trusts award around £3.2 billion each year in the UK. US foundations give around 10 times the UK figure, whilst foundations across Europe now award twice the US figure, at €83 billion each year. Grant makers often choose to have a low profile and finding the ones right for you can be a time consuming and fruitless task. Our expertise in this area spans decades and we have experience of fundraising for projects and from funders across the US, Europe and Asia. We can help you find the funders you need. |
Developing a case for support
The Case for Support articulates your work in a format specifically designed to appeal to funders. Whilst it is not an application in itself, it contains all the elements one requires in convincing a funder to support you, whether individuals, companies, charitable trusts or statutory bodies. The Case for Support embodies your modus operandi through describing your history, current position and ambitions for the future, articulated using both hard facts and emotive case studies. |
Developing fundraising systems
Creating a step change in fundraising success takes skill, but if the systems to manage fundraising processes are not put in place that work can easily fall apart, resulting in missed opportunity and an inevitable loss of income. We have a long history of creating bespoke systems for managing fundraising processes, from charities new to fundraising to large, well-established fundraising charities. Our approach is based on the principle that things should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. |
