Services

Four ways we work with fundraising leaders and their CEOs. Most engagements start with a planning phase. Some start with a team that needs a system, or a campaign that needs a steady hand.

Campaign planning

Test the goal before you announce it. A planning phase tells your board what can be raised, from whom, and who will lead it, before you commit to a number in public.

Focus Ireland's planning phase set a €30 million goal. The campaign raised and pledged €39 million.

About campaign planning

Campaign counsel

Lead gifts first. Public launch last. Senior counsel through the quiet phase and the public campaign, so the plan becomes pledges.

A Place Called Home: €39 million raised and pledged against a €30 million goal. Campaign of the Year 2023.

About campaign counsel

Major gift programmes

A pipeline, not a wish list. A major gift system your team runs every week: who to see, why, what happens next, and when to ask.

We train fundraising teams at Focus Ireland, FoodCloud, and Rehab Group.
