Or do you want to extend or radically change an existing development function? Perhaps you need to add influential volunteers to assist an essentially staff-driven fundraising process. How do you go about it?

The Strategy Review is designed to help you quickly address these questions in a no-nonsense practical way. The questions you need answered can be professionally determined by examining the potential sources of funding available; the right tools and mix of tools to secure them, and the operational and information management systems employed. As part of the Review we add top quality research to provide an external comparative analysis, which means with our actionable report, you get the benefit of best practice models from around the world.

If your organisation wants to achieve significant performance gains from its existing fundraising programme, we’ll sit down with your stakeholders - board members, volunteers, managers and givers - to work out where these funds can be found. By looking at what elements of your programmes are in place, how they are run and how data and resources are managed, we’ll help you identify new opportunities.

During the audit we’ll work with you to develop an Annual Fundraising Plan, ranging from ‘big gift’ funding to direct mail, which will include guidance on the best systems available for your organisation’s specific needs.

Then the Resources Study is the right place to start – it is a qualitative process that works out exactly where the money is for your specific project or programme. Conducted by one of the senior members of our team, the study will clearly establish the attainability of your organisation’s capital fundraising goals.
