Maybe your charity is facing some challenges and your old fundraising strategy isn't going to cut it anymore. Perhaps you're wondering if you've thought of everything to maximise on trends and ensure fundraising opportunities aren't missed. Or maybe, due to personnel changes, you've got an opportunity to think afresh about the structure, resources and skills needed to set you up for short and long-term fundraising success.
I have 14 years' experience of strategies for fundraising teams small and and large, across a breadth of causes with different needs, at different stages of development.
I can bring clarity and solutions at speed,
giving you confidence about where to place your focus to unlock your potential.
Just taking one income stream as an example: corporate partnerships can transform a charity, bringing vital funds, awareness and resources. There are two challenges lots of smaller organisations face:
1. There are so many companies out there and not enough manpower or time to strategise, sift, sort and make contact
2. Competition from other organisations is so tough, what does it take to get through, stand out and win a new partnership?
I will share my insights, skills and tactics learned from over a decade working on some of the most admired high-value, long-term, strategic partnerships and campaigns, and bring my extensive experience of new business and account development to take your corporate partnerships to the next level.
Making simple but meaningful changes can drastically improve your team's results and pave the way for year on year growth.
I can help you evaluate current performance of individuals and the team as a whole, and put measures in place to create successful mindsets, behaviours and cultures that will see your team 'level up' and deliver immediate and tangible achievements.
Your team may have the best attitude, ethic and commitment - but if they haven't honed the relevant skills, they will not be delivering to their potential.
I can help you identify skills gaps and deliver tailored training programmes to accelerate their development and ensure you smash your targets.
