We support your team drafting fundraising appeals, campaign content, and donor and funder communications — including the hardest messages to write, like funding shortfalls or service changes, which deserve more care than a rushed first draft.
WORTH BEING HONEST ABOUT
"This can't create new funding. What it can do is measurably improve your odds of winning what's already there."
The problem
Every appeal, campaign and donor update competes for the same limited hours as everything else your team is doing. The messages that matter most — a funding shortfall, a service change — are also the ones that take the longest to get right, because they can't afford to land badly.
Telling donors about a shortfall or a service change needs care most teams don't have spare time for.
Campaign writing gets squeezed between service delivery, reporting and everything else on the list.
Rushed drafts can come across as generic, exactly when donors most need to feel personally spoken to.
What's included
Drafts that keep your organisation's voice, built faster than starting from a blank page.
A run of consistent messaging across a campaign, without every piece starting from scratch.
Regular updates that stay warm and specific, even when they're sent often.
Extra care and support drafting the hard ones — funding shortfalls, service changes — so they land right the first time.
How it works
A short session on how your organisation writes to donors — tone, past appeals, what's worked before.
Working sessions where your team drafts real appeals and messages with direct support.
Starting points for common message types, so future drafts start closer to finished.
Your team keeps writing confidently on their own, with support on call for anything unusually sensitive.
Who it's for
Often a team of one, responsible for every appeal and donor touchpoint.
Leaders writing appeals themselves alongside every other part of running the organisation.
Organisations managing several funder relationships with a small comms capacity.
Organisations needing to communicate a shortfall or change well, not just quickly.
