Fundraising Consultant: Beth Upton Freelance Fundraising is a collective of approximately 20 fundraisers, each a specialist in one or more fundraising Disciplines, available to help your organisation raise more money through fundraising in a variety of ways:
- Consulting
- Strategic Planning
- Mentoring
- Interim roles
- Temporary staff
- Outsourced delivery
- Training
The team covers the full range of skills from strategic development and planning through to hands-on implementation, in all fundraising disciplines from community to corporate, events to legacies and everything in between.
Beth Upton set up her company in 2010 in response to the need she discovered, first-hand as a Fundraising Director and through observations in the sector, that many organisations needed extra help through peak periods; other resources might be forthcoming to support the team but no more hours in the day, which was too often the cry.
So Beth Upton Freelance Fundraising offers exactly that: more time dedicated to your fundraising need, delivered in a cost-effective and flexible way.
No longer delivered by Beth alone, the team has grown organically in the subsequent years and still strives to find you a flexible solution to your fundraising problem. You will still get that all important one-to-one service as you will be matched as quickly as possible to the right freelance fundraiser for you, a person who will deliver your fundraising, with whom you can grow a relationship and together succeed for your organisation.
Consulting
Do you need expertise in one particular field to guide your organisation’s development? Our team had a wide range of experience and can come in to support you as you grow, giving you the tools for success.
Examples of or successful work include:
Crab and Winkle Line Trust – feasibility study planning
Fire on Ice Expedition – feasibility and planning study
Citrus Saturday – business planning, initial fundraising, shopping and policy support.
Mentoring
Are you investing in your team as you extend your fundraising reach? Our skilled team, many of whom are trained mentors, regularly undertake mentoring programmes with individuals.
Interim roles
There will often be a gap between a member of staff leaving and his or her replacement starting. When this causes problems for the team an interim member of staff is a commonly-used solution. We have accomplished interim fundraisers from Director level through to operational and hands-on. For example:
Trust Fundraising Manager – MS Society
Corporate Fundraiser – MS Society
Senior Corporate Partnerships Executive – Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
Temporary staff
If you have a special project or you want to test a new product before committing staff count then a temporary freelance fundraiser may be the solution for you. Our team of highly skilled freelance fundraisers is not only an expert in their own field but each is accustomed to hitting the ground running. For example:
St Mungos – prospect research to support growth in the Trusts Team
St Mungos -Trust’s fundraiser to boost team resource for big applications
BATIAS – community and event fundraising pilot.
Outsourced delivery
For a small organisation hiring staff might always be too expensive. Outsourcing offers a more flexible solution with no hidden extra costs or future pitfalls; it is possible to outsource for fewer days than it would be possible to hire staff and outsource different fundraising roles to different expert individuals rather than find those rare all-rounders. We have supported the following organisations in this way:
Christ Church, Clapham
Oxford Homeless Pathways
Leatherhead Rifle Club
Training
A natural progression with the expertise held within our organisation, a series of practical, affordable training courses will be rolled out in 2014.
