Consultancy, mentoring & strategy
Having successfully led award-winning teams in Director-level positions, Sophie Buck Consulting can ensure you are making the best use of your resources to maximise your income generation potential. Some examples of services we can provide include...
Strategy design
We can work with you to develop your fundraising strategy, including by looking at the competition, internal and external landscape, giving trends, suitable income streams and realistic targets.
Mentoring
Is fundraising an ‘add-on’ to someone’s role in your organisation? Does your charity operate with one or two fundraisers, who could do with some peer support from an experienced fundraising professional? Do you have a particular fundraiser on your team who might benefit from a mentorship? We provide mentoring support that follows a structured and in-depth approach, so your fundraiser feels totally supported and cheerleaded, while also learning valuable fundraising practical skills as they navigate particular projects or bids.
Fundraising audit
Do you need a fresh pair of eyes to make sure you are fundraising at an optimal level? An audit will provide you with a detailed look at what’s working and what’s missing, analysing everything from your pipeline to how you steward your donors.
Organisational design
Our experience of restructuring, redundancies and team growth means we can advise organisations on the structure and strategy of their fundraising department, including recommending the strongest income streams to place ‘first hires’ for budgetary-constrained organisations, as well as restructuring an existing fundraising department.
Cases for support
Let us support you in mapping out a project or service that needs funds, including its vision, need, beneficiaries, outcomes and methods of evaluation, leaving you with a 'bid-ready' package you can take to prospects.
