No matter what the size of gift, as a specialist fundraising consultancy we advise on all aspects of securing these all-important donations, as well as follow-up to ensure that they ideally don’t become a one-off.

Feasibility
studies

A feasibility study is a process which you should ideally undertake to test whether your planned major gift or capital campaign has a good chance of succeeding. We will work with you, your key stakeholders and supporters, to provide you with a report which will indicate how you should proceed with your campaign. Call or email us now to see how we can help.
Case for
support

The case for support is the central document which makes the case for why someone should support your cause. It can be used in its entirety for a major gift campaign or parts of it edited and used in any of your fundraising programmes. A great case for support is a vital component of any major gift programme. We will work with you to ensure that together we will write the very best case. Call or email us now to see how we can help.
Donor

Developing an outstanding relationship with your top donors is the foundation stone of any major gift programme. We will work with you so that together you have the very best training, strategy, and materials to ensure your donors give at their highest levels. Call or email us now to see how we can help.
Prospect
research

Knowing where your major donors like to give, what their capacity and philanthropic history is, who they know, is essential to knowing how you should approach them and for how much. We can provide profiles, due diligence, and network mapping, so that you can build effective relationships and make the very best asks for their support. Call or email us now to see how we can help.
Training &
mentoring

Are there aspects of your fundraising programme where you require expert one-off or ongoing advice? As a specialist fundraising consultancy, we will work with you to ensure you have the necessary support and counsel so that you can make the very best decisions in your day-to-day fundraising operations.

Board and senior
volunteer fundraising
development

Jane Porter and Philanthropy Together come highly recommended for their exceptional fundraising consultancy expertise. Jane's assistance in developing a comprehensive strategy for our charity was invaluable. Her clear and concise communication, coupled with her professionalism and collaborative approach made working with her a pleasure. I wholeheartedly endorse her services to any organisation seeking to maximise their fundraising potential.
Liz AllenNon-Executive Director, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust
Jane’s actions took the isolation out of our donations and helped us see its impact within the organisation and towards the specific causes targeted. We were impressed by Jane's thoughtfulness and attentive approach throughout…making our opportunity for philanthropy not only a humbling experience, but one that was incredibly meaningful and for which Jane deserves commendation. Aside from Jane's commitment to her role, her positivity and approachable persona made her a delight to work with.
