Sound familiar?
The typical
fundraising
cycle.
We see it time and again. Passionate organisations with meaningful missions, held back by fundraising that isn’t working as hard as it should.
“We’re way too dependent on government funding. We’re dipping into reserves and see how risky that is.”
“The person doing fundraising is juggling two other jobs. Because the rest of the organisation doesn’t actually understand fundraising.”
“We’re putting in more effort and raising less. The ROI just doesn’t stack up.”
“Our data is a mess. We can’t see what’s actually working or why donors aren’t coming back.”
“I’m new here. I can already see the potential, I just need help building stronger foundations.”
“Strategic planning is coming up. We need fundraising to be part of it this time.”
“Things are working well…but we want to know what’s next.”

Seeing the Unseen
Going Beyond Fundraising
Strategic, Then Tactical
★★★★★
“We have learnt so much working with Paul of Amplify Fundraising.
He initially came on board to do a review of our fundraising efforts. His analysis and recommendations have helped us be more targeted in our approach and thus to achieve greater results – indeed our last appeal was the best we’ve ever achieved.
Paul continued to work with us mentoring one of my team members. He was incredibly generous with his time and knowledge. He is a brilliant mentor and has helped my team member greatly improve her skills, especially in data analytics.
We are very grateful for all of Paul’s help and hope to continue working with him in the future.”

Director of Strategy, Communications & Fundraising – Refugee Council of Australia
★★★★★
“From the very first conversation I was impressed with Paul’s depth of knowledge about fundraising and his ability to craft an effective strategy that fits our organisation.
Paul has had an extraordinary impact on our organisation’s fundraising and built a strong and lasting foundation for development. We continue to benefit from the strong work that Paul initiated.
His mentoring style, honest feedback and pertinent advice enabled us to make a significant growth in our income last year. The value in working with Paul is not just in the money earned, but in the lessons learned along the way. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Paul helped Plunket across a number of programmes including regular giving, donor development, and acquisition and over that time his advice has helped to improve fundraising tactics, budgets and overall results. His insights across strategy have helped to convince the organisation of the value and potential of fundraising as a driver of growth.
I couldn’t recommend Paul highly enough to any organisation in New Zealand or Australia for his fundraising knowledge, his support and respect for Plunket staff and for being a critical extension of the fundraising team over the last 18 months.”

Head of Funding, Sponsorship & Brand – Plunket New Zealand

“Working with Paul from Amplify was a delight and pleasure. He listened to us, analysed our needs and brought together a coherent strategy that made sense at this point in time for our fundraising program.
With this guidance and strategy in place the program is sure to maintain a steady course and continue growth over the next three years.”

★★★★★
“We are a peak membership body and we engaged Amplify to help us to undertake a funding assessment, and to create a strategic plan for philanthropic capacity growth for our members.
Paul was our consultant, and we really valued his collaborative and insightful approach to working with us. The services we received from Amplify were flexible, and we appreciated the time taken by Paul to learn about our members, enabling him to identify ways that could support our members to build their fundraising capacity.”
