Cath helped us raise substantial revenue for projects which have had a major impact on our organisation. She is professional, easy to deal with, and is extremely knowledgeable.
On behalf of Better Lives – thank you for your time and expertise today, it really did focus our minds on why we are here and what we need to succeed. Our strategy is going to be concise, honest and fabulous!
Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust have worked with Good Fundraising since 2017. With sound business planning and strategic direction, Good Fundraising has helped lay strong foundations to ensure the long-term sustainability and future growth of the Trust and has seen the funds raised for good causes increase from thousands to hundreds and thousands.
Without Good Fundraising, Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust would struggle to raise funds and wouldn’t be good. The expertise, empathy, and skills that Good Fundraising bring to the table will always ensure that the table will never be bare and that indeed the table with sometimes groan under the weight of the funds raised through Good Fundraising’s efforts.
I can’t thank you enough for your support, encouragement, patience, wisdom and insight. We are already benefiting from your input, not just by your creative solutions, but by your use-able strategic approach.
The Management Committee of the Oulton Institute worked with Cath and successfully obtained grants from a number of different sources to supplement a major refurbishment project. Cath helped the Committee to complete the grant applications and also advised of other funding opportunities available. She was professional, thorough and knowledgeable, and helped understand the overall vision for the premises, building on her own experience as a Charity Trustee. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and work with Cath again in the future.
Working with Good Fundraising has helped us to turn our small charity into a successful and integral part of the community. They have been instrumental in bringing our 70-year-old organisation up to today’s expectations and standards. We have found them extremely professional and effective with extensive knowledge of the market and the details of funders’ objectives.
I just wanted to say thank you for the workshop last Thursday. On discussion, we agreed we found it very useful to begin our journey into thinking of fundraising as a strategic activity. The prioritisation and next steps, along with the realism, was particularly helpful to us. Really useful insights and some good ideas to get us started also.
In 2022, Good Fundraising Company worked closely with our whole team to review out fundraising potential as a museum service and at the individual site level. The process got colleagues involved in thinking this through, and the final report has provided us with a tremendously insightful and powerful case for change in how we approach fundraising. One major outcome has been the setting up of a development trust, part of the wider development trust, part of a wider development plan born out of the review. I highly recommend Cath and the team at Good Fundraising Company – they were a joy to work with.
Good Fundraising have been an essential support to the CTA for many years. We are continually impressed by their exceptional level of professionalism.
It’s an absolute pleasure working with the team at Good Fundraising. They have a pragmatic, practical and strategic approach which is a breath of fresh air! In developing our Fundraising Strategy, they are transforming our approach to the future sustainability of the museum.
Working with Good Fundraising has transformed our sense of the untapped potential we have to develop financial sustainability. They are approachable, knowledgeable and extremely hard working on our behalf
