Fundraising Strategies Network

What is the Fundraising Strategies Network?

Successful fundraising involves bringing many strands together:  planning, identifying the right sources of funding, reaching potential supporters, meeting eligibility criteria, writing effective and persuasive funding bids and having robust systems in place for managing funding.

Fundraising Strategies Network is a one-stop shop of consultants who provide a range of services ranging from  helping organisations identify and secure funding for the short term and to developing strategies for sustainable income in the long term.  We help organisations to be funding ready,  to focus their fundraising efforts and use methods suited to what they do and how they work.  We also can make sure that when organisations raise funds, fundraising messages are appropriate for potential supporters and that funding bids are more likely to be successful.

We work with a variety of organisations including charities, voluntary organisations, co-operatives, community businesses and other social enterprises, pre-start and new start businesses and small and medium size enterprises.

As the network continues to grow we will be able to provide a broader range of services as each new member brings in their individual expertise.  We also work together to ensure that you have access to the services from the network members who can best meet your needs.

As well as one-to-one support, we provide regular training and workshops, either on-line or in-person.

If you would like to take up our services, please contact individual members directly from the directory of services below, and sign up to our LinkedIn (address goes here) and Facebook (address goes here) pages for regular updates of workshops and other training events, plus a wealth of useful information.

Good luck with your fundraising efforts!

I have over 25 years experience of writing fundraising plans and making funding applications for small and medium-sized charities.  This has included applications to the London Borough of Ealing, Ealing Clinical Commissioning Group, the City Bridge Trust and many other major funding bodies.

As required I work on an ongoing basis with staff and trustees to ensure that the process is managed effectively and that the organisation has a high likelihood of being awarded funding.

We support small businesses and voluntary organisations with their fundraising by helping to ensure that they have an effective and sustainable approach towards generating revenue.  We look at how an organisation is defined in respect to its services, activities, management and income generation, and how this flows within the organisation to arrive at a strategic funding plan that takes into account meeting current and future funding needs while optimising internal and external funding avenues.

In addition to strategic funding reviews, we help organisations ensure that they have effective financial and management information systems to ensure that activities and their income streams are well managed.
