Andrew is a founding member and Fellow of the Institute of Fundraising and has spent over 35 years fundraising with NGOs and charities. He founded Prospecting for Gold in 1999 as the research arm of Charity Consultants Ltd. Andrew believes that strategic prospect research brings more, better qualified, donor prospects to your cause. It saves you money and time and, used strategically, it breaks down the barriers between fundraising functions.
