Fundraising Strategy Consultants · Australia & New Zealand
Helping great causes
become truly fundrais-able.
We work with not-for-profits and charities at every stage of their fundraising journey, whether you have a dedicated fundraising team, one person carrying the whole load, or a CEO doing both jobs at once. Whoever holds the fundraising brief, we work with you to become more fundraise-able, so the cause you exist to serve gets the resources it deserves.
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.”
“I’m juggling fundraising with two other roles. We’ve outgrown that and I don’t have the bandwidth to do it justice anymore.”
“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.”

Testimonials
What our clients say about working with us.

“We have learnt so much working with Paul.
He came on board to review our fundraising efforts. His analysis and recommendations have helped us be more targeted in our approach, and our last appeal was the best we’ve ever achieved.
Paul continued to work with us mentoring one of my team members. 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.”

“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.”
