Fundraising Strategy
We can help you raise more money using our experience, analysis, benchmarking and engaging workshops.
Fundraising is the fuel that powers your social impact. Without money nothing changes. Fundraising success comes from creating an organisational culture that is proud to fundraise, understanding why people give to you and managing a portfolio of fundraising programs that maximise your return on effort and investment.
More Strategic has experience across all fundraising disciplines from Individual Giving Acquisition, Retention and Development to Major and Middle Donor cultivation and stewardship to Bequests and Events and everything inbetween.
Fundraising Strategy & Audits

View Testimonial“More Strategic have been great partners for RMHC and were the catalyst for our spectacular fundraising growth over the past 8 years. They took the time to really understand our complex governance model and stakeholder needs to put forward a compelling case for investment in fundraising capacity. We have continued to work with them on our proposition, structure and strategy and we value their authentic, evidence based approach. The staff are passionate about fundraising and are professional, approachable and always willing to assist. We wouldn’t be where we are today without them.”
Barbara Ryan, CEO Ronald McDonald House Charities
Fundraising data analysis and modelling
We love data! Yes, we are data nerds as well as creative thinkers! Nothing makes us happier than a monster spreadsheet and a set of pivot tables. As well as bespoke analysis we have created beautifully simple (they are horrendously complicated behind the scenes) models for fundraising investment and budget management.
