Assessing progress to date

How well are we really doing? Could we be raising more money than we are now? Do we have the right structure and resources? Is our fundraising strategy right?

Audits are one of our specialities – and can help you to answer questions like these, usually with a view to improving your performance. Sometimes the audit is a prelude to launching a fundraising campaign, sometimes it’s needed mid-campaign. Other times, it’s triggered by a new fundraising priority, a change of organisational leadership or new opportunities. If you like, it’s a type of health-check that can benefit both the development team and the whole organisation.

We’re likely to take into account factors like: leadership, strategy and planning; systems and resources; prospect numbers and management; positioning of development within the organisation; volunteer management; cost-income ratios and performance measures.

You should come out of the audit with a clear road map to overcoming your challenges and fulfilling your potential.
