Fundraising Strategies

As we face recession and an increasingly competitive funding environment, it is now more important than ever to plan effectively for future income. Otherwise, there is a real risk that your income will fall and your clients and services may suffer.

There is clear evidence to suggest that each area of fundraising will be affected differenty by the economic slowdown. So, for example, community fundraising will be impacted differently from legacy income or from trust fundraising. Your fundraising strategy needs to take this into account. In particular, there is a need to diversify income streams and to reduce dependence on those areas which are or will be most affected by the downturn.

Successful fundraising is still possible in a recession. We have many years experience of helping charities create fundraising strategies and can help you think through the best path to get your organisation through the downturn. It may even be that hard times are an opportunity to rethink your approach, so by acting now you will be in a stronger position to benefit from the eventual recovery.
