Established in 1997, we are consciously a small firm, employing five highly experienced consultants. Each of us has years of experience leading fundraising teams and major appeals, and we have all personally solicited seven figure gifts. We feel this gives us a unique perspective; we have personally tackled the challenges that you are facing and we have walked in your shoes.
Our speciality is major gift fundraising, both supporting on-going programmes and helping establish specific major appeals and new programmes.We work with a wide range of clients primarily in the social care, health and education sectors, and have recently supported the major gift teams of national charities including Cancer Research UK, the MS Society, Diabetes UK, Marie Curie Cancer Care, RNIB, Save the Children, Refuge, the Brooke, Kings College London and Together for Short Lives. In addition to this charity consultancy, we also advise a number of major donors who engage us to assist them deliver their philanthropic activities, again giving us a helpful insight into the donor perspective.
We work incredibly flexibly, delivering consultancy tailored to each clients’ specific needs. This support includes working alongside in-house teams to develop cases for support, establish development boards and create and implement major gift fundraising strategies. We take a very practical and realistic approach to our work and we are known for our ability to establish rigorous infrastructure and help make big ideas a reality.
Although we commonly work alongside our clients for long periods of time, certainly through the life of major appeals, we offer the flexibility to increase or decrease the level of our input and work on a one month notice period. We genuinely want to ensure that we offer value at all times and as such we feel it is important to offer our clients this flexibility. All of our consultants are London-based and it is important to us that we are regularly present in our clients’ offices.
