𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄: People are NOT going to give you what you need - until you show them... How you can give them what they want. When you focus on meeting the needs of your donors (rather than your charity's) you raise more: ✅ Money ✅ Long term relationships ✅ Access to wider networks That doesn't mean if someone says jump - you say how high. Nor does it mean you reinvent your charity to fit into a giving criteria (that's called chasing the money and is something very different). 📌 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 (𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁) 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. Because you're giving to get. Rather than trying to take. Giving to get is always more: ✅ Successful ✅ Enjoyable ✅ Comfortable For both the givers and the askers.  📌 𝗪𝗶𝗻-𝘄𝗶𝗻 😀

This is one of my grant rules -- "Nobody wants to help you." That's an exaggeration, of course, because a few people want to help you. But mostly, foundations (and other donors) are looking to solve a problem, and they give you money because they think you can help THEM solve that problem. #philanthropy #grants #grantwriting #grantwriters #grantrules #NobodyWantsToHelpYou

❓Did you know... Gross income from local fundraising has stayed flat between 2022 and 2023.

How We Work... "Our 3 step process" Our approach is to: 1. Understand your stakeholders’ circumstances. A conversation with you to understand the stage your people are at and determine what content and format would work best. 2. Tailor our programmes accordingly. We develop a programme that suits what content will have most impact, how often your group meet, and whether online or in-person is best. 3. Measure our impact. We take surveys before and after our programmes. This helps us understand how participants feel and behave towards money and assess what impact our programmes have. Please get in touch to find out more about how we could work together. We'd love to talk more and work on ways we can bring our programmes to your organisation, please do drop us a comment or send us a message and we will be in touch #financialeducation #hyfafoundation #moneymanagement #charity

“If You Always Do What You've Always Done, You'll Always Get What You've Always Got.” ~ Henry Ford In fundraising, if we keep using the same channels time and again there’s a chance we’re underutilising other, less-obvious fundraising streams. Taking the time to take stock of what’s working or not, and opening up to other possible fundraising sources is an important part of the process, like we did for SeeBeyondBorders. When was the last time you looked at streams outside your existing fundraising channels? Is it time to block out some time to review? If you need a helping hand, we offer 2 FREE tools to assess your Major Donor and Trust Fundraising readiness. Both are available from our website. #majordonorgiving #majordonorfundraising #majordonorfundraiser #fundraiser #fundraising #charityfundraising
