Fundraising Consultancy
Fundraising Audits & Strategy Development
Our customers ask us to work with them to establish their current fundraising position, and help to create radical and effective fundraising strategies that meet the needs of their organisations.
Often fundraisers are faced with significant additional challenges, as ambitious development plans require major uplifts in income from a range of sources.
How we help with fundraising audits and strategy
To address these concerns we work closely with organisations in the following areas:
Fundraising audits:
- Reviewing planned and actual results, typically over a 3-5 year period
- Benchmarking against similar organisations
- Identifying areas for potential growth or at risk of decline
- Assessing the organisation's donor and contact reach
- Analysing the organisation's positioning
- Assessing the external environment
- Competitor analysis
- Assessing the capacity and competence of fundraising staff
Strategy development:
- Linking fundraising strategy and plans to your overall needs
- Pinpointing the funding need
- Sourcing likely sources of income and possible funding partners
- Establishing the investment needed and possible return
