A VALUE(S) LED APPROACH TO FUNDRAISING

We're committed to turning the world of fundraising upside down! We want to replace the traditional siloed approach to fundraising with a holistic and people-focused approach.

We value the experience and equitable engagement of those people and communities that are closest to the problems we are working to solve.

Our focus is on big donations -  because these are the ones that make the difference, or set a new direction. Prioritising value of donations over volume means that this will take time, and we remain focused.

But it's not just donation size that matters, so we explore other value(s):

  • Donations are two-way value exchanges (donors also win when they give).
  • We know the value of our time, and spend it with people that deliver.
  • We know and champion the value of our work and our cause's impact.
  • We value the many things beyond cash that funding partnerships can bring.
  • Authenticity and trust are the foundations of fundraising success - so we always lead with our purpose and our values.

The Fundraising Radicals is where high-value fundraising knowledge and guidance are shared - to engage, empower and equip you to fund your community, your cause, your charity, your change.
