DIVERSIFICATION OF REVENUE
The Path to Financial Sustainability
Are you seeking alternate funding sources? Are you ready to expand your organisation's impact and have questions around where the funding could come from?
I help organisations discover which funding options are best suited to the organisation in their current and future states.
FUNDRAISING STRATEGY
A Comprehensive Approach
Are you seeking a structured fundraising strategy that will create impact for the organisation over the next 3-5 years? Do you need advice and input on how to achieve growth in certain funding streams? I can undertake a detailed review of the organisation and its funding streams and develop a fundraising strategy that will result in the greatest level of sustainable revenue, even with limited resources.
THEORY OF CHANGE
Expert Guidance
Has the organisation grown and is need of a refined mission, vision and purpose? Does your operational plan align with your strategic goals? Will your strategic goals achieve the greatest impact? Have you done a theory of change assessment? I can provide clarity and direction through this assessment process, helping you align your strategic goals with your operational plans.
PHILANTHROPIC CULTURE
Strengthening the Business
Do your employees have shared feelings, values and beliefs about the organisation and its purpose? Do they feel a sense of shared purpose? I can work with you to help create the principles that support a philanthropic culture in your organisation that can enhance the sense of community and purpose for your staff, volunteers and donors. The potential benefit of a philanthropic culture means higher staff retention, larger philanthropic donations, higher corporate financial contributions, an augmented Board and enhanced volunteer participation. I can help bring a philanthropic culture to your organisation that will empower your staff and drive the organisation’s mission forward.
CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP PLANNING
Building Better ROI
Do your staff, Board members and advisory committees members understand the difference between the concept of partnerships and sponsorships? Do you feel there is tension with your corporate partners? I can provide a clear corporate partnership/sponsorship plan which would bring the greatest return and impact from corporate partners. I can help create clearer and mutually beneficial relationships with your sponsors and partners for the future needs of your organisation.
MAXIMISING YOUR BOARD
Expert Advice
Is your Board working for the organisation in its fullest capacity? I can work with you to develop the appropriate Board charter to refresh your Board's roles and responsibilities (and advisory committees) to increase participation, financial and in-kind contribution, and overall involvement in the organisation. This process can maximise confidence of Board members in the organisation, and increase strength of relationships with donors and corporate partners.
Researcher Coaching
Coaching_Guiding Technical Experts
Do you have very few researchers who are ‘donor ready’, commercially inclined, ready to speak to investors? I coach groups/individual researchers helping them to engage and attract investment to their respective areas. Coming from a technical background, I understand the approach and language of technical staff and work with them to become ‘investment ready’. I teach how to promote their work, how to modify their verbal messaging to a diverse range of audiences, how to feel confident in speaking in broader terms. These skills attract commercial investment and large donations to more areas of research in an organisation.
