There is a great need to make the best use of what you've got, and to ensure that any decisions that involve spending money are made carefully and wisely.
Having worked with charities before, alongside our Service Partner, Ivory: Intelligent Organisation, we understand these needs well.
In association with Ivory, we are pleased to offer a range of consultancy services that will help to deliver the best results for your organisation.
Improve efficiency
We'll look at ways to improve processes and operations within your organisation to deliver more efficient use of your resources. This will help to reduce your costs.
Help you to spend more on the good causes
In 2000, the NSPCC notoriously came clean and admitted that almost 60% of its budget was being spent on its own administration, fundraising and running costs.
Since then, things have certainly improved - although many top charities (including Cancer Research UK and Oxfam) are still spending up to 30% of the money that they raise just on keeping themselves going.
Many other charities, however - such as the British Red Cross, or even the NSPCC these days - spend as little as 15% of funds raised on 'subsistence' costs.
There may be room for improvement in your organisation's spending. We'll try to identify areas where you can reduce your outgoings, enabling you to spend more on the aims of your organisation, rather than on the costs of keeping it going.
Create a professional image for your organisation
It may sound odd, but one of the best things you can do for your organisation is spend some money on improving your brand.
All of the most successful charities can be easily identified by their clear and consistent branding - and they look professional too, like people who know what they're doing.
If your logo is from the Microsoft ClipArt Gallery, and in garish and mismatching colours, you may be doing your organisation more harm than good in doing nothing about it.
Why would a business want to offer its sponsorship to an organisation that has such a poor professional image? Why would a company want its logo to sit alongside something like that on PR material and websites?
We can create a powerful and striking identity for your organisation, one that won't cost the earth, but which will strengthen your ability to attract the attentions of potential donors.
Identify new fundraising and sponsorship opportunities
We can help you to find new ways to raise money for your organisation, whether through events, or corporate sponsorship.
We can even prepare a pitch, including supporting materials, for your representatives to invite sponsorship from businesses, or if you prefer, we can take care of pitching for corporate sponsorship on your behalf.
Making the right spending choices
We can assist you with making the right choice when it comes to spending large amounts of money. We know important it is to get it right first time around.
Our consultants can arrange the best advice to be provided to you for these important choices - whether it be finding offices for you to work from in a new city, or upgrading your computer equipment.
We can help you with all this and more
Let's have a chat to discuss what you need, and how we can help you with that. Drop us a line, give us a buzz... you get the idea.
