We are a fundraising & strategy consultancy based in the UK & France
We work with clients internationally, advising on innovation and growth strategies. We work in the areas of fundraising, sponsorship, earned income strategies, internationalisation, organisational design, and we provide leadership training. We work closely with our clients, typically at director and board level. We have extensive experience in Education, Performing Arts, Culture, Visual Arts, Museums & Heritage, and NGOs.
With a track record of building and leading high-performing teams, we can advise on all aspects of professional fundraising for clients of all sizes in a variety of sectors and geographies.
We offer a wide range of consultancy services to help organisations with their fundraising endeavours. These range from one-off projects to on-going counsel and advisory services.
We can work with you on building team capacity, developing your case for support, campaign planning and execution, major- and principal-gifts, individual giving, crowdfunding, international fundraising, corporate partnerships, and donor stewardship and retention. We can also help you with the fundamentals like databases, policies and protocols, and recruitment.
Our experience of developing and implementing strategic plans for organisations of all sizes means we're good at making connections between different areas of activity, aligning strategy with business and fundraising potential, and ensuring resources are allocated to achieve optimal outcomes.
This work feeds into the development of a case for support so you can raise the funds you need to achieve your ambition. We can develop the case with you, running workshops and focus groups before writing the copy you need.
We've led organisational design and restructure projects for teams large and small so we can assess and advise on optimal staff structure for your organisation and budget.
We have trained and coached fundraisers, senior staff, and trustees in major gifts, storytelling, and public speaking. We can develop training programmes to suit your needs, working with staff and senior volunteers to help develop their fundraising skills.
Programmes can include ideation sessions with executive and non-executive teams to develop new products, programmes, projects, and philanthropic offerings. We can help trustees, board members, and non-development staff understand how fundraising works, and what their role is in the organisation’s fundraising ambitions.
We can also coach senior fundraisers in leadership, strategic thinking, and major gifts to help achieve their potential.
