Diversifying Funding & Income Generation Strategies
Is your charity struggling to raise income in a climate where the cost of living is increasing the need for services and affecting the ability to raise funds? As a seasoned income generation professional I can support you to diversify your income generation strategy. I have expertise in devising a new income generation strategy and can support you to implement the recommendations if needed, to diversify and reach those ever-increasing needs. Get in touch to discuss your needs and how I can help.
Fundraising Workshops
Is your fundraising team in need of inspiration? Or is there just one of you who is responsible for fundraising alongside other conflicting priorities? I deliver a range of fundraising workshops, either as a group or designed to meet your team’s bespoke needs. Courses range from a one-hour brief introduction to fundraising to a full day workshop taking you through all elements of the fundraising cycle. I also deliver workshops on specific income generation streams and creating your fundraising strategy. Delivered either online or in person they are a great way to enhance your knowledge and set you up to achieve sustainable, long-term income for your charity. Get in touch to discuss your needs or join an open workshop.
Identifying Trust & Foundation Prospects
Is your pipeline out of date, or perhaps you need to create one entirely? I can support with prospecting and qualifying funders to meet your needs and align with your values. Get in touch for support.
Case for Support Creation
Do you have an up-to-date case for support? Has the need for your services and the programmes you deliver changed since you last wrote one, or perhaps you don’t have one at all? If so, I can create a detailed case for support, highlighting the need and why your charity is best-placed to address this need. This is an ideal first step in preparing to submit funding bids. Get in touch for a chat about your charity and how I can pull this together for you.
Bid Writing
Do you have a funding opportunity coming up but not enough time to focus on the bid? Or do you have lots of Trusts identified and need someone to write the applications? I provide expertise in all areas of bid writing, from the large institutional donors to small family Trusts. Get in touch to discuss your needs.
Capital Appeals
Do you need to raise funds for a new building or specific items to expand or improve the services you offer? I can offer support at every stage, conducting a feasibility study, producing a fundraising plan, prospecting and making the asks to a range of audiences, including major donors, trust, corporates or launching a crowd funding appeal. Get in touch and I can support every step of the way.
Case Studies & Story Telling
Gathering emotive case studies is vital for fundraising but often something that falls to the bottom of the to-do list with other conflicting priorities. I am an excellent storyteller and can gather stories and quotes from the people you serve to support funding appeals and for funder reports. Get in touch for examples of my work and to discuss your needs.
Bespoke Projects
Get in touch to discuss any other needs – with two decades’ experience in almost all areas of income generation I should be able to help with most of your needs.
