Strategic Fundraising Consultancy

We provide strategic fundraising consultancy for arts, heritage, and community-led projects, with a focus on programme-level fundraising rather than isolated funding bids.

Our strategic fundraising consultancy supports organisations to plan, prioritise, and deliver coordinated fundraising approaches aligned with programme goals.

Our approach centres on developing clear cases for support and coordinated fundraising strategies that reflect organisational capacity, programme ambition, and funder context.

We do not work on commission-based fundraising.

This work typically involves

• case for support development
• prospect research and funder prioritisation
• external evidence collation
• coordinated applications to multiple funders
• GDPR-aware fundraising practice

Fundraising support can be commissioned as a defined phase, or integrated into wider programme development.

Access support for funding applications

Where funder guidance allows — for example Arts Council England — we provide access support for applicants who face barriers in completing funding applications.

This may include writing up agreed content and completing application forms in line with funder access policies. We do not develop the artistic or strategic content of applications as part of access support. Fees for this work are typically paid by the funder.
