A strong, long-term strategy is without question the foundation of successful fundraising. Woven throughout this are many elements often overlooked but critical to fundraising success. From planning, resource allocation and risk analysis; to financial forecasting and operations management, all elements must be considered.

Through this process your organisation and fundraising activitieswill thrive and maximise the result to your beneficiaries.

From recipes to business success, the ‘mix’ of ingredients or elements is all important. With fundraising programs, we’ll help you identify and focus on the right areas and channels to maximise these elements. We’ll then create a portfolio that suits your operation and objectives and has the greatest chance of long-term-success.

How do we do this?

We break the process into three core areas that will ultimately drive the success of your fundraising revenue year-on-year.

These are:

• Acquisition
• Retention
• Building Donor Value

There is no question acquisition of new donors and retention of existing ones is critical to long term success.

Through our consultancy services, we create and implement strong and cost-effective acquisition and retention strategies. Working with you, we then ensure your fundraising program focuses on building value and commitment fromdonors – ultimately increasing their annual giving levels.

Overall, we will help you integrate your fundraising programs and increase the overall value of the fundraising strategy.

Whether campaign segmentation, a life-time-value (LTV), return-on- investment (ROI) analysis or a deep dive into your database for an audit, data is king and can shape your future fundraising. Our data analytics will help unlock the secrets of your database and combined with our fundraising expertise, ensure you get the greatest value from your supporters.
