PROSPECT RESEARCH

We have access to a broad range of prospect research resources which enables us to carry out in-depth desk-top research to identify appropriate potential funders for your organisation. Our findings are captured in a prospect pipeline that can be used by your organisation going forward, to inform bid-writing and to record further fundraising activity and outcomes.

FUNDRAISING AUDITS

We can undertake an audit of your fundraising activity during which we will analyse your organisation’s income requirements, funding history and current donors and supporters. If appropriate, the audit will also include an investigation of your organisation’s fundraising strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT).

CAPITAL FUNDRAISING

Careful planning, preparation and organisation are essential components of all fundraising, but these skills are particularly crucial in the development and delivery of a successful capital campaign. We can help at each stage from the initial feasibility study, through project development (including the creation of a compelling case for support) and on to the delivery of the private and public phases of fundraising.

REVENUE AND PROJECT FUNDRAISING

REVENUE AND PROJECT FUNDRAISING

Whether you need to secure on-going core funding, or restricted funds for short or longer term projects, we can help you to raise the necessary funds from a wide range of potential donors, including grant-making Trusts and Foundations, the National Lottery, statutory sources, individual supporters and business sponsors. We can provide fundraising services at each stage of the process, as required. This may include, for example: proof-reading of existing draft applications; bid-writing; consultation and communication with potential individual donors; negotiation with possible business sponsors, and preparation of funders’ reports etc.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Taking decisive and spontaneous action when implementing a new project can be exhilarating and inspirational – but unfortunately, without thoughtful pre-planning, these ideas may not be sustainable in the longer term. Having a well thought out and documented project plan (including realistic budget projections) enhances the fundraising process enormously. We can help you with this process – from brain-storming to generate innovative and exciting project ideas, to preparing draft activity plans and corresponding project budgets.

CASE FOR SUPPORT

An organisation’s case for support is a vital element of its fundraising resources and should be reviewed regularly to ensure that it is relevant and serving its purpose effectively. We are happy to undertake a review and revision of your existing case for support, or to work with your organisation to produce a new one. This will sometimes involve the delivery of an interactive workshop with representatives from management, staff and trustee groups.

COACHING, MENTORING AND TRAINING

If you have taken on a new, inexperienced fundraiser, or if your fundraiser perhaps lacks experience in a particular element of fundraising, we can provide bespoke one-to-one mentoring and/or coaching support in order to help them to develop their skills. If, on the other hand, you need to enhance the fundraising knowledge and/or skills of a group of people from your organisation, including perhaps, trustees, management, staff and volunteers, we can devise and deliver bespoke training sessions at your premises to specifically address your needs.

FACILITATION AND MEDIATION

Sometimes an external viewpoint can enhance a strategic meeting – or provide a mediating presence to diffuse a difficult issue. We can be brought into your organisation to facilitate staff, management and trustee meetings and can provide a summary report of our observations and recommendations, as required.
