Welcome

Graham Richards - Freelance Fundraiser provides a professional fundraising service to not-for-profit organisations and groups.

In particular, I specialise in working with small to medium sized charities, who are wanting specific fundraising work carried out, rather than requiring a much broader fundraising consultancy. As such, I can provide a practical service at an affordable price.

My main areas of specialism are as follows:

• Legacy Marketing (particularly in small, medium and local charities)

• Legacy Administration

• Research into and application to grant-making Trusts

• The use of Gift Aid to increase income from donations

• Donor Development, including:

• developing committed regular giving

• converting ad hoc donors to regular donors

• acquiring new donors

• Database management & development

• In-Memoriam Giving

• Website development for charities (i.e. planning your website to meet your needs)

• Developing online giving

• The use of the Internet to promote your cause

• Copy writing for fundraising literature

“Small is Bountiful”

In trying to get smaller charities to see how they can maximise fundraising income, I believe that small is bountiful and that being small can be a real advantage in some situations, particularly legacy fundraising. 

If you’d like a free, informal discussion about your organisation’s situation and needs, please get in touch.
