Winter 2012 Newsletter
Welcome
As we return to our offices to embark upon a new year of fundraising in a challenging financial climate, there is a sense of optimism as a result of our team’s fruitful 2011.
In November alone, the team at Charity Fundraising Ltd were delighted to have achieved over £1 Million in grant funding for our client organisations. This was through a wide range of grant funding applications for five and six figure sums being awarded to six different clients. In addition to this we also heard news of a successful tender for another client to join a three year framework agreement to provide call-off services with an anticipated value of around £900,000. That made the total achieved and anticipated equal nearly £2 Million in just November. With our newly developed ability to compute our clients’ successes against invoicing, we are now able to accurately demonstrate return on investment (RoI).
Our new London office
Charity Fundraising Ltd now has a presence in London! Our new office space, just half a mile from King’s Cross Station, offers a central hub for our existing clients (and those considering investing in our services) to meet with our consultants and supporting staff members.
Social Action Fund
The Social Action Fund is a new grant fund of over £20 million managed by The Social Investment Business on behalf of the Office for Civil Society.
The Fund aims to inspire organisations to create new social action opportunities; encouraging people to give what they have, be it time, money, assets, knowledge or specific skills.
