Your Guide to Working With Fundraising Consultants
Hiring a fundraising consultant or professional fundraiser isn’t always easy. As with any industry there are good ones and bad ones, thankfully more good then bad!
Employing a fundraising consultant should be a profitable and happy experience for your organisation. We are aware that things don’t always run smoothly with all charities employing fundraising consultants and have heard some pretty hairy stories about when things go wrong.
One way to avoid a nightmare situation is to make sure you get off on a firm footing and that means doing your homework before you even speak to a fundraising consultant. There are lots of questions that you need ask and making sure that you have all the right procedures in place will help make the partnership successful and long-lasting.
We are currently working on a brand new site which will give in-depth answers to the areas shown below – so watch this space for more news – if you would like us to cover anything not listed below then place contact us and we will do our best to make sure it appears on the new site.
