Major Donor Development

IFC consultants have considerable experience in planning and successfully executing campaigns to increase income from major donors. These campaigns are not just a component of Capital Appeals but should be an important source of income for every charitable organisation.

We can undertake to:

Research a list of wealthy donors with contact details, wealth and their links to your work.

Carry out wealth checks and background research on your existing major donors.
Set up a cultivation programme - including receptions and high level events - and integrate this with your existing special events.
Help you to develop effective celebrity involvement including recruiting new patrons.

We can arrange for your existing potential major donors to be identified and we can train you to ask for large sums from new and existing potentials.

Whether you are a small, niche organisation or a large national or international not-for-profit, IFC can tailor a programme to fit your budget and enhance your income significantly.

A full range of services is available, from planning through to research, approach strategy, approach execution and follow-up. Training can be offered in any or all of these areas, ensuring that you will be ready to organise and deliver the programme unsupported in the future.
