Fundraising Strategy for Charities

A fundraising strategy should help you decide what to do and what not to do. I work with your charity to identify the most promising income opportunities and a practical route to pursuing them.

When this helps

  • Your charity needs a clear plan for sustainable income.
  • You want to diversify but need to know where to invest limited time.
  • Your existing strategy no longer fits your priorities or capacity.

How I work with you

We start with your funding needs, current activity and resources, then consider the external landscape and realistic opportunities. The result connects income ambitions to the people, investment and actions needed to deliver them.

Options & typical fees

Commission the support you need. We agree the scope, deliverables and fee before work begins.

Fundraising strategy

£1,800–£3,600

A clear, prioritised strategy and implementation plan.

  • Funding needs, income performance and external landscape
  • Income-stream choices, targets and resource requirements
  • Risks, dependencies and a practical implementation plan
  • Presentation

Income diversification review

£800–£1,600

A focused assessment of realistic alternatives to reliance on one or two sources of income.

  • Assessment of potential income streams and organisational fit
  • Priorities, investment needs and next steps

Timescale & next steps

A phased assignment over an agreed period, allowing time for your team’s input and review.

Tell me what you need, your timetable and any budget you are working within. I’ll confirm availability and propose a clear scope and fee.

Detailed prospect research, application writing, policies and implementation are separate pieces of work unless expressly included in your brief.

Client perspectives

What it’s like to work together

“From the initial call with Sophie, I felt that she really cared about our cause, and made the process seamless. There were different options for us to choose in terms of levels of support (no pressure and our budget was taken into consideration).”
